Ali express may take a week or so but, very good price Never used them B4 was a bit wary, (AliExpress ) but no problem These they are ( MG S 5 ev) I got 2 for good price around £5. Incl postage Scroll up til you see Ian Key message and pic

The AliExpress ones do fit -had them for a couple of months they seem fine Dropped and marked the key fob that's why I bought them! Happy with them

I seem to be able to lift bonnett without putting wipers in service is it just my MG S 5??

Hi, has anyone done a comparison chart ( or should we start one) that compares the 1st service price for the MG S 5 EV? I have been quoted £160 is that reasonable or can we get some prices from others? Any difference between low miles and normal miles rates?

At last the storm is over and now the dust will settle See what technology has done to our much love bits of metal to see again whilst carefully reversing up my drive My sat mav guides me where to go Thank god I am alive! My phone connects and what's the bets it works now perfectly And...

Morning all, just tried car all seems to be up to speed and working as it was before, hope that's an end to it, I think we would all be happier if we had been warned that it may get taken a while to complete if it is an update????

Good luck and thanks for reply hope it stays fine for you, mine faulty since Fri like you but tried this morning and still same, here's hoping.......

How long was it faulty for?

I just tried switching data off it appeared better but satnav won't work til you switch back on? What is that "global switch" setting for?

Thanks Ian, I did get the problem Friday around 3 PM tried it Sat morning but had not resolved so it does not appear overnight has sorted it yet I will try again this morning and hope for good news on your theory. Will let all know obviously

Hope it won't be known as the valentine's day MG massacre!!!!

Forgot to mention that this problem of slowing everything down, it seemed to have control over my headlights? I could not turn them to just sidelights even on sidelight setting they stayed on full beam

Just wondering, is it all different ages of the S5 mine was one of the first to come over and registered in April 2025 I believe, any chance it could be a batch thing as some seem alright?

Same for me today as well, satnav really slow and all else not up to speed same as yesterday afternoon when it 1 st happened, think cameras are working slightly better/quicker though

And me in the U.K., same sort of thing even heater jammed and would not work reset it a few times but still sluggish as per others
