    Is rust a problem on early MG5s?

    The last thing any press shop producing body panels would want is a pre-press rusty sheet of steel going through the press. Transfer of rust to the tool faces would accumulate and lead to scoring of subsequent panels and even the tool itself, resulting in even more scored panels and significant...

    The Ultimate MGS5 "Real World" Energy Consumption Thread

    An average of about 3.6 then. I don't suppose it's more downhill on the way back is it? I hope to be getting my MGS5 in a couple of days and I will start my own monitoring.

    The Ultimate MGS5 "Real World" Energy Consumption Thread

    NMC Li batteries are technically better than LFP batteries in cold weather and inferior in hot weather.

    Intermittent problems with Android Auto

    I think he/she means you go through the same rigmarole that I (you) used when setting up AA for the MG5 instead of using the MGS5's native AA.

    Pin top missing

    See this Reddit discussion from 2 years ago on the Ioniq 5. There is a pic part way down with a part number. I wouldn't mind betting there is a high probability that (the physical) CCS2 charging sockets do not differ between car manufacturers and all come from but a handful of producers. It's...

    I wonder? (solar panels eventually a requirement?)

    Thatched roof with solar panels. Of course, most won't be able to have them, especially if they are grade 1 or 2 listed. As to wooded environments, you can still use them; it's just the efficiency drops. And efficiency is improving. There is even research on 'solar' panels that work at night to...

    Pin top missing

    The charger port is covered by the MG 7 year warranty (according to Google). The tips or pins are user replaceable (if you can source the parts) rather than getting a whole new port. Some Hyundai and other cars have the same issue. I guess it's a commonly bought-in part from a third party...

    Boot Tray replacement

    I was looking for that too. You can get a couple of variants off Aliexpress (e.g. here and here); and there is one Amazon for the 'full' price too. But I think I'd try the dealer first.

    My car hates my wife!

    ^^This^^ Edit: Ha! Or maybe not. It was according to Google in the MG3 and MG HS, but rephrase the question to add in the S5 and you get a "No" from Google! I give up!

    My car hates my wife!

    Seems to me it would be a good idea to have a definitive list of all a car's audible warnings with an audio sample.

    My car hates my wife!

    Possibly the driver fatigue/distraction warning.

    First week in new MG5S

    That's normal. If the TPs read correct when cold they are at the required/recommended pressure.

    Paint chips and general paint quality on MG

    I was going to suggest SMART by ChipsAway until I reread your post. Unlucky, I think. Not quite the same thing, but my recently departed MG5 FL sat under an oak tree for two autumns and got peppered with acorns from upwards of 50 feet and never had a problem. And I've had a few journeys along...

    Spare tyre

    Wow! That's much better than gunk. I wondered at first whether that was legal in the UK, but it seems it is. I think I will invest in one of those kits. Sadly, in both my recent cases that would not have been even a temporary option as I had sidewall damage from pothole encounters (image shows...

    Spare tyre

    This topic already had my attention, as I was on the point of getting a space saver for my MG5 FL before a Discovery Sport recently reconfigured its front end (and am now contemplating an MGS5). The confusion that reigns could be averted if car manufacturers (as I guess it's not only an MG...
