    Three Months In An S5

    Good point, maybe leave the home button on the right hand side, but move the rotary part over to the passengers side 🤷🏻. You can adjust the climate control from the steering wheel as well.

    Three Months In An S5

    I guess they work on the theory that if you need one, you need the other 🤷🏻. It’s the same on a lot of different cars tbh. Does any body think like me, that the two rotary control under the info screen 🖥️ should be the opposite way around ?. The one that can be used to adjust the volume of the...

    Does a MG ZS Exclusive Mk1 Spare Wheel fit a MG S5 Trophy?

    Yeah - It is the same stud spacing as your current ZS EV so no problem there then. The ZS EV used different wheel hubs from the previous ICE ZS models. They decided to use the stronger heavy duty hubs from the older HS on the ZS EV instead. Because the larger hubs from the HS model, had larger /...

    Passenger window failure

    Cars have definitely out grown the size of standard parking spaces now. Providing plenty of work for the dent repair people that’s for sure 🤣.

    Does a MG ZS Exclusive Mk1 Spare Wheel fit a MG S5 Trophy?

    The spare wheel you have, it is the MG space saver type ?. If so, then yes it will on the car okay and it will JUST fit under the boot floor cover, on its highest setting. Remember that the MGS5 has no spare wheel well formed into the body shell, unlike that in the ZS EV models. The S5 Trophy...

    Passenger window failure

    You could almost fit a classic Mini inside the Austin Maxi !. A lot of interior space, very wide if my memory serves me correctly ?.

    Passenger window failure

    Arahhh ….. I remember them well @Ian Key . Had them on my Mk1 Mini Cooper S which I fully restored. I can still remember replacing the glass sliding runners in both of the doors, way back in the day. I wish I still had it now, it would be worth a small fortune. Strange when you consider they...

    MGS5 12V battery dead

    13.9 volts vs 14.0 volts is as close as does not make any difference tbh. I am willing to bet, that had you put the car in ready mode first, it would be bang on 15.0 volts. What did the car report the 12 volt battery voltage as, in the head unit ?. Checked mine “on route” this morning at the...

    Locking Driver Seat Belt

    Could be that the OP has not updated their profile yet ( we have seen this before of course ) or the post was placed in the wrong section, like that has never happened before, has it 🤣. Same problem, with a similar suggestion for both models I guess. I guess one of the admin guys will ask the OP...

    Locking Driver Seat Belt

    Some owners have complained that the seat buckle on the drivers seat on the S5 is placed too low down, on side of the seat 💺 and makes clipping in the seat belt difficult. Especially if you have a large coat on at the time. You also want the car to stop “bleeping”, when you want to make small...

    MGS5 12V battery dead

    You can see a “live” read out of the 12 volt battery status, when you are on the move tomorrow, view it in the head unit of the car. Some EV drivers ( not just MG ) have taken the decision to purchase a battery status monitor, that is easily fitted onto the battery terminals. It constantly...

    MGS5 12V battery dead

    While on the subject on charging the 12 volt battery. I have noticed that there is a difference between the S5 and both of our two previous ZS EV’s. Also as soon as the ZS EV is in READY mode, the battery voltage is displayed about at 14.1 volts. This is very close to what you would expect to...

    Granny charging

    One of these boxes are absolutely ideal if your still running on one of the older type of consumer units ( fuse box ) that is not offering any protection from a breaker unit, like the RCBO incorporated here. The heavy duty three pin plug and cable used on Granny units, can make closing the water...

    Disconnecting 12v pb battery - 12v socket fuse

    Did on our previous ZS EV and it was fine !. It lost the tyre pressure read out in the display, but after a short drive, it all returned to normal. Not tried it on our S5 🤷🏻.

    MGS5 12V battery dead

    I guess it depends on your budget really Tim ?. They tend to get more expensive, when you go for a pack that has more storage battery power. Storage power is not that important for EV's of course, but if you have friends or family members with ICE powered cars, then I would go for a more...

    MGS5 12V battery dead

    As @Ian Key as already suggested, do yourself a big favour and invest in a 12 volt battery booster pack !. A lower output pack is fine for an EV but if you have a ICE car in the family, then I would suggest going for one with a bit more umph. Keep it under the drivers seat 💺 and then, if you DID...

    MG4 2023 driver seat material degradation cracks

    I do agree that it will differ from person to person and the load placed on the seat bolster has an effect on the rate of material cracking, but honestly they should be able to withstand average use from an average sized person without splitting and cracking appearing this early in the life of...

    Handfree closing tailgate

    You can set the “opening” height to be lower than the factory default of “fully open” if that helps your wife, if she is a regular user 🤷🏻. This is fine of course, as long as you are not tall of course, when you could end up banging your head on the tail gate itself 😵‍💫.

    MG4 2023 driver seat material degradation cracks

    Very likely to be affected by the adverse cold temperatures as well then 🤣. Generally just poor quality material used anyway! If you cut too many corners, you then just end up with a constant circle ⭕️ of bombardment of complaints from unhappy customers that will affect future sales.

    MG4 2023 driver seat material degradation cracks

    I have a bit of theory on what could be a mitigating factor 🤷🏻. I think the plastic / vinyl content in this material is extremely high. In the summer months, the cabin temperature in our previous ZS EV ( when parked in direct sun light ) reached over 45 degrees. This high and sustained /...
