    How long does the car stay 'on' when you don't lock it?

    I suspect it will stay on until the traction battery runs out even switching the lights on when it gets dark. You'll need to switch it off on the infotainment screen if you insist on not locking it.

    MGS5 12 Volt Battery Issues

    I have one because the same was said about the MG4. But in the 2.5 years I had my MG4 and the 5 months since I've had my MGS5 the only time I used it was to jump start the girlfriends diesel car.

    Switching from MG4 to MGS5 . Advice please .

    As far as I'm aware there have been no software updates for the MGS5 unlike the MG4. Out of courtesy unbind your MG4 from the iSmart app before the handover. Check the tailgate opens fully and closes with a soft final movement. Also check the battery terminals are tight as like some MG4s some...

    Cant Contact the car with app when it is frozen.

    Try unlocking and locking the car with the key fob. You can do it in the warm from inside the house as long as the car is within range.

    MGS5 Service Schedule

    The question about whether the service schedule is now two years comes from looking at what's involved on MG's website where years 1 and 3 appear to show nothing is checked. The average hourly rate for a main dealer technician (they can't be called mechanics any more) is about £100/hour. This...

    Phantom Bike Spotted by ACC - Caused Severe Braking on Motorway

    Sorry. Early morning brain fart. My MG4 had manual cruise control. I mean I tend to use the manual speed limiter when the roads are busy or there is a chance of the car seeing speed limits for slip roads etc.

    From a country that eats Vegemite? Don't knock it until you've tried it.

    Are we watching an empire collapse in real time?

    It depends what you've been brought up on. I have tried Vegemite but much prefer Marmite and a peanut butter and Marmite sandwich is excellent.

    Not Great Economy

    I'm getting similar economy figures and like you it's mainly short journeys but I keep the AC/heating on set at 21C and often preheat the cabin via the app and drive in Standard mode. If I do a longer journey the economy increases to 3.5+ m/kWh in this weather. The difference being I'm not...

    Phantom Bike Spotted by ACC - Caused Severe Braking on Motorway

    Were you heading into sunlight? I wonder if that confused the camera? I tend to use manual cruise control especially on a dual carriageway with slip roads or service roads displaying a lower speed.

    MGS5 Service Schedule

    This is the email I sent: It appears that the service schedule for MG EVs has increased from every 12 months to every 2 years according to your web site. https://www.mg.co.uk/servicing Is this correct and what happens to the 12 month renewal of MG Assist after the car has been serviced? Is it...

    Squealing brakes and reverse speed

    Cars have a front brake bias meaning the front brakes do most of the braking. When you reverse down the slope in neutral not as much braking is needed so perhaps only the front brakes are being used. When in reverse gear more braking power is needed so the front brakes and a bit of the rear...

    DAB radio cutting out in MGS5 EV

    No they don't but no doubt when it's available in the UK someone on here will post about it. In addition to that tell your dealer there is a problem and they might let you know when it's available or when you book the car in for a service tell them you have a problem with the DAB radio and if...
