Well I hope they do sort it out, of course - I was just being devil's advocate really. Personally I think it comes down to design in this case - was the carpet and the foot-rest configuration suitably designed and thought through in the first place and then tested sufficiently? Who knows -...

Yummy :)

No, several times in rapid succession helps to relieve the pent-up tension that you'll undoubtedly be feeling under the circs :)

Probably not. Not only are the Chinese inscrutable, they are also expendable. Err just kidding.

Bet none of them had sheepskin seat covers, though :)

Lock and unlock the car a few times??

Maybe if this becomes a recurring problem for MG, they will produce one that can be glued or screwed over the existing?

Well, MX5 (my wife's car !!) drivers are very chummy, and about 75% or more will acknowledge with a little wave - sometimes more extravagantly. Maybe the MX5 is a bit more specialised and club orientated than the MG5 though? As I pointed out in another thread, the front end of the MG5 looks like...

My "work" car is a Subaru XV with auto (CVT) gearbox. I collected the car off a colleague who had covered about 12kmiles in the first 4months from new (these cars are high-milers!). In that space of time (4months) the carpet where his heel rotated was completely worn through - hard to believe...

I think I'm right in saying that it defaults to KERS2 and definitely N mode at switch on. Strange that yours is different. It seems to me that the problem with everything being software/electonically controlled these days (compared to mechanical systems) is that the number of released variants...

Well I bought the MG5 based on a financial calculation. If I get rid of all my cars, I can save about £2k per year in fuel, over £500/yr in car tax, and quite a bit in servicing and MOTs. So, over the 7yr warranty period of the car I should be in pocket by well over £15k, which covers the...

I had one of those for years (car and manual). It was bulletproof, well until the engine block split due to insufficient antifreeze :) . My negligence should be less of a problem with the MG5!

I can confirm (using a cheapish Ebay tyre pressure gauge which I have cross-calibrated against a couple of tyre pump gauges over the years) that the TPMS readings are in line with expectations within 0.1Bar or so on my car. I would recommend cross referencing the TPMS system occasionally for...

With the granny charger you always have the "filling station" on-hand at home so it seems daft not to plug it in every night when you get home. But I resist the temptation to recharge every night and usually let it drop to 60-70% which means that 7hrs on Economy 7 will more-or-less top it right...

I would say that in scenarios where little or no braking is expected (e.g.Motorways) then KERS1 will make little or no difference to "economy" compared with KERS3. If you are starting to use the brakes more due to driving conditions then KERS3 will minimise energy wastage via the brakes (but as...

That's interesting. It suggests there are quite significant differences if you guys don't get heaters. Clearly they have provided you with much bigger and/or more efficient air-con units to cope with the extra heat so that you don't have to suffer heat-stroke like we do :)

What a pity the Phoenix Four came along and raped the last British car producing company (of any significance) or that the govt didn't step in and bail it out. MG had a pretty decent range of vehicles at the end and the 75/ZT looks as stately as a Bentley in my view.

Well, Les, I'd say it was a design fault if it does not meet the legal requirement, regardless of what the ZS and later MG5 demonstrate. It seems to me that the key question is....Is there a legal requirement for UK cars to have brake lights that are activated over a certain level of...

One member has both, I think, but I can't remember who off the top of my head.

Glad it turned out to be an identifiable problem and that it is now going to be fixed under warranty. As others have said, statistically there's always going to be the odd one or two major issues such as this with any brand. Yes, Joe, it would be interesting to see what's in there but I suppose...
