Just wondering why you would rely on FCA instead of just looking where you are going

Just press the little button on the front door handle to lock the car then open tailgate it will auto lock when you close it and does not been the horn

Perhaps you should go back to Skoda if its that bad or maybe you just need to get used to the feel of it, can take time to settle into the quirky MG ways

Frozen doors are a regular thing here on Merseyside, depends on wind chill and if the rubber gasket was wet beforehand

Surely, but depends when it was actually manufactured as opposed to registered may have been sitting idle for weeks in China or in your country waiting for orders. That would cause havoc with the 22v battery and may be the root causr

My MG5 has both charging sockets covered with plastic plugs inside the charging flap

Brake corrosion is caused by using high levels kers as the brakes don't get any use. Keep kers to 1 and use brakes as in an ice car, saves mega money on new discs etc

Had it happen inadvertently on MG5 a few times, quite a shock when you go out in am and find all windows open, fortunately not rained overnight

If you have regen 3 engaged the brake lights come on anyway when its active I seem to recall that using the manual parking brake puts the car in neutral and you have to push footbrake and engage drive to move off safety feature

I have a fl Mg5 that doesn't recognise 20 mph speed limit signs. Had it in for service last week and had an MG3 courtesy car for the day. It read every speed limit sign including 20mph accurately so it can be done

You do realise that the speed limit indicator is fed from the passive radar on the car not from the sat nav feed

Ours has never recognised 20 mph limit. Also shows the national speed limit (UK) sign on dual carriageways but either has a fissyfit showing the minor road speed limit on motorways or flashes 70 instead. Whilst its technically correct, national speed limit sign is correct for dual carriageways...

Sorry I was suggesting using your heated seat rather than the heater when you have no passengers quite agree about the heated steering wheel though

Also honks horn if you've left spare key in or near the car. Try taking spare key a distance away and try again

You don't have heated seats then
