One thing I would have liked is being able to see the 12v battery condition on the app, it was on my MG4, so why the furk it isn't on the S5, I've just ordered a Bluetooth battery tester, but that's no good for checking when we are on holiday and the car is at an airport car park.

Absolutely agree with all the annoying gremlins, big BUT though, the S5 is one of the nicest cars to drive, it's very comfortable, giving none of the aches and pains of recent other cars I've owned, like Volvo, Hyundai Tucson, Skoda Superb and Passat, now 3 months in, 2 trips to the main dealer...

I like to use OPD all the time, but exiting my garage forwards is tricky because the available width is narrowed by the electric door activation arms, they protrude about 60 to 70mm either side of the frame, giving me about 60mm clearance either side which is a tad tight , meaning I drive slowly...

Thanks for the support @Weeble, I too like the car, it's particularly comfortable with a very nippy turn of speed, unmatched by many a lot more expensive. I've got used to the annoying foibles, but I strongly consider the ACC to be more than a foible, in the wrong hands, especially let's say a...

Latest news, still no improvement! I picked up the car yesterday (Friday) lunchtime, was told awaiting a response from MG, but a s II got to Penton MG Salisbury, the reply was miraculously there, record time even to my surprise, I like Penton MG, they have given me great support in sales and...

I had similar if not exactly the same with my previous MG4, it was exactly as your video, I found it was the plastic screen behind the steering wheel, kind of rattle or tick, by holding the screen to the plastic surround, the noise stopped, have you tried doing that? I thought of jamming...

I spoke to our local MG sales manager and a couple of his sales team, regarding the snotty email I sent to MG regarding the irregularities of my S5 adaptive cruise control (in today to try and sort it out) He pointed me towards the new S6, which had only just arrived on the transporter and...

Saw my first MGS6 in the flesh this morning at our local Salisbury MG dealership.it was absolutely chucking it down with rain, I'll take a closer look tomorrow when I pick my S5 after they fix my Adaptive Cruise Control (, not holding breath) Definitely looked good in a rather nice metallic...

Yes the Octopus Electrverse card is good, but I still prefer Tesla where they are available to non Tesla car owners. Tesla's prices are very keen too, charging costs vary, with non-members typically paying around 60p per kWh, quite a saving on some ridiculously expensive options.

Also a great Tesla at Darts Farm, Exmouth Rd, Exeter EX3 0QH, a really good cafe, restaurant and good quality shops.

There are loads, especially as already mentioned Solstice Park, Amesbury, just off the A303, easy access, has a big capacity with Gridserve and Instavolt, Although I like to use Tesla Superchargers, wherever possible and must be the ones open to all car makes. The favourite for me on the way...

The S5 has exactly the same size rear blade as the 4 Clive haha. I found one on Amazon mid September, but if you recall, it needed a small mod to the slot the hook fits into. "Rear wiper" sounds like a nursing home term for someone the manager isn't too keen on !!

Nor me they don't seem to rate that highly!

Thank you @MickeySw , that's very interesting, another version of how it should be done! All sounds pretty logical, it just shows the confusion regarding balancing/equalisation is pretty widespread. I'll try it at a higher SOC next time I balance (on one leg) watching with interest, not only is...

It appears its a tad trial and error, I managed my first Equalisation last week at the second attempt, details on my thread "Battery Equalisation/Balancing MGS5 second attempt" But basically I used the iSmart app, I'm on Intelligent Octopus GO, so cheap energy between 11.30pm to 05.30am, I set...

Just out of interest @LenEV2016 , what EV are you currently running, your bio says "not an MG"

I'm not overly concerned about "smart" charging Len, I use it all the time for normal up to 80% charging. It's fairly straightforward to achieve full equalisation using the iSmart app, but the length of charge time has to be extended by several hours to fully complete the job, hence I...

I think you'll find that will not properly equalize the battery cells if I read what you are doing is correct. Equalisation needs to be carried out in the same charge (movement) if you are interrupting the charge and connecting the "granny charger" that wont work correctly. Additionally it...

I do have Intelligent Go tariff @Data, Dynamic charging is turned ON.

I don't use Smart Charging, I use the the MG iSmart app, set to switch on at the normal cheap energy rate starting at 11.30pm, but for the equalisation charge I set it for 12 hours and not the normal 5.30am (6 hours) stop time for normal charging. I'm pretty sure the equalisation took place as...
