    MGS5 Auto Speed Limiter

    Yes. I use speed limiter all the time but have to keep an eye on it as at times it seems to have a mind of its own. There are certain places on my regular trip where it always switches from 30 to 40 and I can't see any reason for it. I have also had it drop down to nothing! and the car braking...

    EV tariffs

    Must be an area thing (pk rate 28.96p just checked and 23:30 - 05:30 7p its gone down, sc 45.42/day) Living in the fens reasonably close to a wind farm has its advantages after all.

    One month in and still enjoying the ride

    Had one of the first CH-R's before the RAV4, my wife got 60mpg; changed because acceleration was so slow.

    Boot Lock

    sounds like the closure sensor not adjusted right. If the boot is closing then it's locked. I f someone can try opening the boot without the key being within range it will prove it.

    Sat nav issue with voice

    When I purchased I thought I would use the MG sat Nav however, I'm using the google sat nav mirrored from my phone, I find this more user friendly.

    Considering swapping MG4 for an MGS5 - Test Drive Thoughts.

    The MGS5 is an SUV type so it is higher but not as high as a lot of SUV's. The height was one of the reasons for purchasing and when my wife tried the MG4 it was a no no as difficult to get out or rear seats.

    Two weeks in, feeling a bit Meh about the MGS5 EV if I am honest.

    I'm not sure front collision works either but it shows obstructions on the screen however, given that other warnings are hit and miss (no pun intended) I'm reluctant to try it out.

    The spoken warning is in a different place. I think under audio tab. Turned off audio now thinking of turning off bongs as well.

Headlight off seems to be a momentary action, found that by mistake...

    Home Charging for a Newbie

    I use Hypervolt home 3 with Octopus and I had an internet outage for 24 hours contacted Hypervolt on how to unlock and this was their response: if your charger is locked and falls offline, you can commence an 'emergency charge'. To do this, you'll need to plug in your charger to the EV...
