Hello. I've got a 23 plate ZS loaner while my 5 is having its heater fixed (hopefully). I turned on the navigation, expecting to see the map rotate and shift under the car icon as I drove along. It doesn't. It seems to update the position when I invoke navigation but then sits there. I parked...

I just wondered. Do folk in EVs... Listen to AC/DC or just something current?

I'm in Australia at the moment, where there is a lot of steam and frothy water being made over the imminent shutdown of 3G mobile phone services. I just wondered if anyone knows which network protocol(s) eCall uses. If it's 3G things might get juicy in the not too distant future.

Pepipoo appears to be defunct (the original owners didn't seem to maintain it, the forums part of the site fell over and it's effectively been abandoned). The good news is that the regulars have launched a replacement Free Traffic Legal Advice, at Free Traffic Legal Advice - Index

Lazy Clock (long press on key fob opens / closes all four windows together) caught me out again today when my key fob got pressed whilst in my pocket. Has anyone succeeded in disabling the feature on an MG5 SR non-facelift? Can't find anything about it in the manual so I assume it isn't possible.

I drive an electric car. It is fantastic during D for Daylight but as soon as the sun goes down and I set it to N for Nighttime the damn thing won’t move.

Eyeup EV-ers. Saw a reference to this site today. Looks moderately useful. Compare Public EV Networks Now, if they pitched in with reliability tables as well, that'd be even more useful.

A few lots from lot 9577 onwards on this auction site may be of interest. Beware of Buyers Premium. "Internet charge", postage and VAT, which can add significantly to the hammer price. Caveat emptor...

By way of a warning that the "done up" sensors on the rear seatbelt sockets are possibly a little fragile. I realised I was only getting two of the three rear seatbelt idiot lights coming on for the couple of minutes self test at car switchon. A process of elimination confirmed it was the...

Not actually a question, more a little reassurance really. I had been asking myself that question before departing these frozen wastes for 7 weeks in Australia. Here's the answer. I charged the car as usual a few days previously and timed my running around so the SOC was around 80% I made sure...

Has anyone installed the rear seat (illuminated) grab handles like these,? MERCEDES ML W164 2006-2009 ROOF GRAB HANDLES FULL SET X4 | eBay How much of a faff was it? What surgery was needed to the headlining? How did you manage the fastenings? How did you connect to the rest of the electrics?

On my 2020 5 Exclusive there's an unused paddle switch next to Mode and KERS. It used to be for selecting battery indication but that was done away with and the switch is unused. Has anyone accessed under the console and found out if the switch could be pressed into service? I have in mind just...

Saw this today. Quite cute.

Just looked at my profile to check if I ought to update the description of my car to MG5 SR. There's no selection for SR or LR, just an MG5. I guess we'll need the facelift version to be identified as well soon.

Cars in driver-assist mode hit a third of cyclists, all oncoming cars in tests Don't rely too much on automatics yet. Autonomous cars may be further away than believed. Testing of three leading systems found they hit a third of cyclists, and failed to avoid any oncoming cars. Full article...

I don't think it's me, as SWMBO is of a similar opinion, that wildlife doesn't get out of the way of a leccy car anywhere nearly as early as an ICE car. The number of critters we've nearly run down in our MG5 has been startling, especially after our diesel Passat.
