    MGS5 Service Schedule

    I don’t think MG are offering “low milage” service options now 🤷🏻.

    Spare tyre

    Just remember Tim if your booster pack is in the boot and your 12 volt battery runs flat completely, entering the boot will be a extremely difficult. As the emergency key will only manually release the lock on the drivers door. Depending on its size of you booster pack, the glove box maybe a...

    Spare tyre

    Same - The MGS5 was not intentionally designed for the use of carrying a space saver wheel & tyre really 🛞. Therefore no hold down point has been provided in the boot floor. Although you are just about able to carry a space saver, if you set the boot board to the highest level. I have my type 2...

    12V battery drained in 48 hours whilst locked

    The government is pumping millions of pounds into trying to stop the illegals from coming to the U.K. and handing out millions to prevent them crossing the channel. None of this is working with any great susses of course. If you want to stop ✋ the invasion quickly and cheaply, the answer is...

    12V battery drained in 48 hours whilst locked

    I can fully understand that the small emergency blade can be a bit fiddly to use. Anybody with conditions like arthritis etc would find it hard work 😓 especially at night time. In a situation like this, I wonder if you could get a full sized spare key 🔑 cut from the pattern on the small blade ...

    12V battery drained in 48 hours whilst locked

    I totally agree. But if you don’t do any spade work, then they are in no hurry to resolve the problem unfortunately. Sad I know 👎🥴.

    12V battery drained in 48 hours whilst locked

    Can I suggest it maybe a good idea to let the 12 volt battery stand a good while, before taking your voltage reading, after you have carried out a full charge. If you check it straight after charging, then the reading you receive could be a little inflated. Let it sit a while first. Regarding...

    12V battery drained in 48 hours whilst locked

    After looking at your detailed results, the dealer will of course need to relay their own findings back to MG CS. But they COULD apply a bit of common sense themselves while waiting for an answer back. Installing a new different battery from a donor car, then after a couple of days of conducting...

    12V battery drained in 48 hours whilst locked

    I really do like your own approach in trying to identify the root cause of the energy loss from the factory fitted 12 volt battery 🪫. Maybe when you are not likely to be using the car for a few days, try this. Disconnect the negative terminal on the 12 volt battery and record the voltages from...

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

    I have already posted my thoughts on another thread, regarding the difference I have found between both models of the ZS EV and our MGS5. I have not done a full review myself, as there are already many other members who have posted good reviews 👍. I highly recommend that you DO take a test drive...

    Sticking drivers outer door handle

    You may find that the standard WD40 may dry out after a while and the handle may start to stick again. Try this WD40 spray, this is what the dealer uses to lubricate the locks & hinges. Pull out the handle, then direct the spray ( with the extension straw ) into the mechanism. Used this on my...

    Insurance quote: "Is your car fitted with a tracker?"

    If you have external doors with euro type cylinder barrels and they are over 10 years old, they will not be fitted with anti snap, anti bump barrels as standard, due to the reduced cost of the very basic units. If you doors are more recent, they will come fitted as standard with BS kite marked.

    Insurance quote: "Is your car fitted with a tracker?"

    In cases like this, when you declaring if you have a particular type of insurance approved tracker system etc. I just find it safer to air on the side of caution here and just tick the box with a NO myself - why ?. If you declare this as YES on your proposal form and are unlucky to need a total...
