    Can't charge

    That explains it. It's your charger that's compatible with Octopus Intelligent Go because as @LenEV2016 pointed out MG haven't released their API for Octopus to control the car's charging.

    MG S5 charging port light stopped working

    I'd let the dealer know that the fix was only temporary but you'll wait for the first service for them to look at it again so it will be on the car's record.

    MGS5 in the wild?

    I thought I saw one but it was another make. The MGS5 isn't as easy to spot as the MG4

    EV Chargers

    Like @TimothyN I run various appliances to take advantage of the cheap rate and as I don't do a lot of mileage in the car it does mean I save money compare to being on a single rate tariff although I don't go as far as using V2L. A lot of suppliers are now only doing 5 hours of cheap...

    Odd work practices

    The famous one about workers shirking was in the 1970s at British Leyland where they discovered 14 men asleep in sleeping bags. A lad I used to know worked permanent night shifts at the carriage and wagon works in Derby so he could machine parts for his and other peoples Harley Davidsons. That...

    Tyre pressure in winter

    You should check them every month when the tyres are cold and adjust the pressure accordingly. Having said that a drop of 5% isn't much of a problem unless you are doing a long journey and/or at motorway speeds. Some owners are running their cars at 35 psi to improve the ride comfort.

    FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE - not working

    In heavy traffic on motorways and dual carriageways I prefer to use the speed limiter in manual mode so I can decide my following distance and if I want to quickly nip into the gap in the next lane.

    Parasitic drain on 12V battery

    I can't believe I'm defending a car dealer but it's not all Stoneacre's fault. They have to do a diagnostic and send it to MG who will then approve the next step. Then after that course of action it's another diagnostic report to MG and so on. MG can take up to 48 hours to reply and then the...

    Cant Contact the car with app when it is frozen.

    Did you defrost by using the Front window icon or climate icon? The Front window icon turns the heat up to high. To stop the doors freezing shut rub all the rubber seals with GummiPflege. Also spray the door buttons and locks including the charging cover with silicone. https://amzn.eu/d/5n3T6lv

    EV Chargers

    I'm with E.on and a low mileage owner too. Their Next Drive tariff provides cheap electricity from midnight to 6am for the whole house so I load shift by using the timer on the washing machine and bread machine etc. to run during those hours. Some of the EV tariffs require you to have a...
