Really ? That's your response as a mature adult. Referencing cars by their means of propulsion is too much for you to cope with and you find it 'amusing', but referring to them as "proper cars" is your sensible approach to their nomenclature ? Which also leaves the meaning fully open to...

Not to kick off any sort of argument again, but I am genuinely interested what your issue is with "I.C.E.". you appear to have mentioned it a few times. At the risk of sounding condescending, you do understand it stands for 'Internal Combustion Engine', so I don't see why you seem to reference...

Yes, but you've made two statements. One that the current legislation was brought in for pedestrian safety, and that is why the rear lights do not illuminate. The government state otherwise, as per the link I provided and deep purple has as well, and the links I've provided so far indicate that...

I'm going to sound like an A***e, but here goes anyway. I'm begging you to please stop posting your misconceptions as fact. It's the principal thing that's wrong with the internet. People post things as fact with absolutely no evidence to back up these 'facts', when quite often they are wrong...

My poor choice of words stating "related to Pedestrian safety". I agree that the measures relate to Pedestrian Safety, and will make vehicles more visible to pedestrians as well as other drivers, but it is principally aimed at other drivers, as per my quotation that you agree with. HairyFool...

There are people on here saying the reason for DRL legislation is related to pedestrian safety, and that is why only the fronts are mandated. I do not believe this to be the case, do you have any corroboration of these statements ? The Government website, states "Daytime running lights (DRL)...

I agree that it would seem easy (without any clue as to what was actually involved), very useful and a good use of the existing hardware. I suspect it's harder to achieve than I realise though as I'm pretty sure MG aren't alone in not making this use of on board cameras. Regardless of it's...

It's not unreasonable to expect the auto lights to function as they should. ie turn on the lights when they are needed rather than at some point after they are needed. It is not comparable to saying the seats should move electrically when the car does not have this function. If there was no auto...

He doesn't say "problems", but says "battery degradation". Irrespective of how it's charged, batteries will deteriorate to a greater or lesser extent due to the number of charge cycles, it's inevitable. Some methods of charging will cause greater degradation than others, but if it's had miles...

Apologies if this shouldn't sit here, but I thought some of the battery experts on here might advise. I've got a pair of bluetooth earphones. Very cheap from Amazon, but they do the job. I've had them maybe a year and so and still doing well, but I was wondering the best way to charge them...

Apologies if it sounds like I'm nit picking, I'm just curious. I thought the thrust of the question was, is the MG5 worse in key areas than the ID3, (one of them being boot space) as I thought you'd agreed to receive the ID3 (which was changed out last minute) so you would have received an ID3...

Although maybe better in some areas, it sounds like the ID3 might no longer have been the ideal choice, if you now need the extra boot space ? Are you never passing St Albans, or somewhere else with an MG dealer, just to get a look ?

MG5 - 464 litres of boot space ID3 - 385 litres of boot space. So if you felt the ID3 was large enough the MG should suffice.

See this thread for information (there's alternates in there too): https://www.mgevs.com/threads/%F0%9F%92%A1mg5-rear-interior-light-%F0%9F%92%A1.4497/ "Believe it or not it is from a jaguar I sourced it years ago for my camper van conversion but never used it It’s wired directly from the front...

Having reread the Original Post, the description is of no feet on the pedals when the car accelerated. The description states that the car took off when he removed his foot from the brake pedal. You would have thought this more difficult to confuse with pressing the wrong pedal, but certainly...
