    I couldn’t wait to stop driving this car

    Auf Deutsch Hallo Freund, Ja, die meisten Hersteller haben ähnliche Probleme mit kleineren Fehlern. Mein drei Monate alter MGS5 hat auch ein paar kleine Macken, mit denen ich mich aber mittlerweile abgefunden habe. ABER wenn ein Hersteller ein Auto baut, sollte es – egal ob mit elektronischen...

    I couldn’t wait to stop driving this car

    The following Tesla was definitely travelling too close, BUT in the circumstances it was a strange thing to happen and for NO apparent reason, other than the rather feeble legal type of response from Mercedes, but it seems they did subsequently test the car and found nothing apparently wrong...

    I couldn’t wait to stop driving this car

    Totally agree @salty, the dealers are tied to what they can do, I think they actually DO try, in my case like many others though they were not able to sort the niggles, that I imagine is in MG's court. Is it they pushed to cars out to the dealers before they were fully evaluated perhaps? A bit...

    I couldn’t wait to stop driving this car

    I think this is possibly an Australian review of the MG HS hybrid, but it's typical of many of MG's models, and somewhat similar to my own MGS5. https://torquecafe.com/i-couldnt-wait-to-stop-driving-this-car/ My brother has just bought the HS hybrid Couple of weeks ago here in the UK, it's...

    Three Months In An S5

    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.

    Three Months In An S5

    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...

    One pedal driving vs KERs

    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...

    Dangerous Adaptive cruise control

    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...

    Dangerous Adaptive cruise control

    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...

    MG4 Ticking/Rattling Noise Coming From Behind The Steering Wheel

    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...

    MGS6 getting closer

    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...

    MGS6 getting closer

    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...

    Fast charging points between Devon and Gatwick

    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.

    Fast charging points between Devon and Gatwick

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

    Fast charging points between Devon and Gatwick

    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...

    Wiper blade size and hook type

    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 !!

    Battery Equalisation/Balancing MGS5 second attempt

    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...

    Battery balancing. No

    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...
