it was worse than that I hade a reversing camera. Must admit once I got the MG my 360 vision improved.😵‍💫

Couple of years ago I reversed my BMW into a small tree stump scratching the bumper and cracked the Crome trim. Took it to a local paint shop paid cash (no receipt) £300 looked like new. Cash is still king.

No but the more manufacturers that could have a common problem maybe the sooner a fix can be found.

It’s not just MG that have a problem with OPD Volvo have issued a warning not to use OPD a quite a few of their EV4 as it can cause brake failures. Also pulled alongside a Mercedes EV as we pulled off the M1 slip road came to a stop and the Mercedes reversed a 12 to18 inches backwards up hill...

Just out of interest are most of the S5 the trophy spec Carson the forum. As a poor pensioner I could only afford the lower spec SE long range 😩 but having less toys I (touch wood) I don’t seem to have any problems as of yet apart from the crap auto main beam/ dip function and speed recognition.

I’ve left the screen protector film over the sensor and so far I’ve only had one driver fatigue alert.

This may or may not be relevant.I brought a Royal Enfield motorcycle new in 2023 the battery was manufactured in 2021 lasted a bout 14 months. The batteries MG use probably maybe? a couple of years old before installation. New batteries can have been hanging around for quite some time. As for...

Rang the dealer and told him what had happened they said to arrange to bring car in. I’ve not done this yet but what I did do was spray switch cleaner onto a duster and clean the area around the sensor. This may have improved the sensitivity of the sensor as the problem did not occur at the...

Picked our new car up yesterday and had to go out last night . The Aut main beam came on even though there was street lights and remained on high beam when a car came towards me. I mentioned this to my son who has a Bourn Taviscan and he has the same problem. Will ring the dealer later today, in...

Yep got the smart phone app recon that’s another way for me to balls things up 😵‍💫

the £550 includes a Curtesy car. My BMWs second service cost was close on to £400 so maybe I view these prices through rose tinted glasses. But I’m still pleased with the service I got today.

So the wife and I got up at the crack of dawn to go pick up the new car (well about 8.30) as we have to drive about 7.5 miles. Got there about 10.00 the handover took about 1.5 hours and covered all queries. The s5 drives absolutely brilliantly and we checked that all the functions worked...

Had S5 on lone for 1/2 a day and even the wife liked how nice it was to drive.

Feeling like a little bit of a traitor as our MG4 goes tomorrow. We have only had the car 10 moths but apart from the front near side indicator stopping working the rectifying itself the car has been trouble free over 5000 miles. We have had to a vehicle that is a little taller due to my worn...

Public transport is fine but what about people with disabilities. Public transportation is great in major cities but where I live on the outskirts of Nottingham for me to go to the bank I have to catch a bus then a tram. Weekly shop is a bus ride each way.
