    Anyone wash their car today? ?

    Put your coat on and nip out with a bucket of suds. The car's had a pre-wash and you won't need to rinse it off.

    The wheels are hard to clean!

    I used Bilt Hambar Touchless at 2% solution in a garden sprayer followed by a good jet wash at the weekend for the first time to wash the car including the wheels. They and the car came up great, although if I was going to dry the car afterwards I would still want to do a contact wash.

    Anyone wash their car today? ?

    I tried Bilt Hamber Touchless last weekend. Mixed up a 2% solution in the garden sprayer and just sprayed it over the car, left it for 5 minutes and used the pressure washer to wash it off. For a quick wash at this time of the year I was impressed how clean the car came up with so little...

    New car payment upfront without viewing

    With it being a new car they might be being over cautious and you might find it comes down again next year.

    Would you buy an MG5 with 7 MOTs before it was 3 years old?

    Definitely walk away. I wonder if it's got an ongoing problem and it's been in and out of the dealer who MOT's it to prove its road worthy after each attempted fix. If a dealer was selling it with 12 months MOT they wouldn't MOT it until the buyer has signed and paid for it.

    Vandalised chargers

    If they sited the chargers in well lit areas that could easily be seen and had CCTV there might be fewer stolen cables.

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    It is also reported that nearly half of drivers support pay per mile. Not half of EV drivers but all drivers, most of whom think as they don't own an EV it won't affect them, and if it did it would replace VED. I think IF it does happen and is successful it will be expanded to all vehicles and...

    MG EV Prices

    They are probably selling them cheap to flood the market of people looking for a SUV EV to stop the new importers of SUVs (Jaecoo, Leapmotor, XPeng etc.) getting a foothold especially as they are available straight away.

    MG EV Prices

    No it's not. That's what I paid for mine in Trophy spec from Stoneacre Derby a few months ago. In fact they registered it in their name when I ordered it and changed it into my name a couple of days later. I had the choice of any colour I wanted at no extra cost.

    Auto Lighting

    Quick answer...No Unlike the MG4 the MGS5 doesn't have an auto light/dark mode

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    What do you call a man with a shovel in his head? Doug. What do you call a man who had a shovel in his head but got it removed? Douglas How do you stop a dog from digging in the garden? Take away his shovel I bet you wish you hadn't asked 🤣

    Will the MGS5 get OTA updates?

    For those of you who still wish for OTA updates VW has just bricked a number of ID Buzzs and they are having to be taken to their dealers to be reset.

    Battery balancing. No

    No, but I know batteries need balancing and as @LenEV2016 says you have no idea when the batteries were made or how long the car has sat in the docks and by doing the 100% balance charge more or less as soon as I've got the car I know when it was last done so know when it needs doing again.

    MG S5 charging with Ohme Pro I can’t plug and go

    Also check you haven't got a charging schedule set in the car / app and that the % to charge to is set above the actual charge in the car.

    USB Recognition Failed

    It looks like the car for some reason is looking for a USB drive which is no longer there but has got stuck in a loop draining the battery. I wonder if you insert a USB drive into the car and let the car recognise it it will break the cycle. The other option is the DAB module is connected to...
