    Hazard Lights Flashing

    Was just going to add my MG5 does that if you break heavily so it's a visual warning for other cars that a car is breaking heavily in front so they can react, useful feature but embarrassing to get it to stop.

    I've never had such a bad car. MG5 EV

    I think this sounds like another anti EV windup

    Sudden acceleration

    When you can see the speed increase on the dashboard and later on GPS tracking dash cam shows the sudden increase in speed then you realise that it was in fact acceleration, also the brakes seem to struggle with slowing the car giving a very unpleasant second or two, anyway I'm done with this...

    Sudden acceleration

    NO it's acceleration as the speed increases quite rapidly and the first couple of times accelerating into a rounderbout is an interesting distraction. If it was just interrupted braking the car would not accelerate it just wouldn't slow down

    Sudden acceleration

    Different car, but I've noticed one thing with my MG5, under KERS 3 breaking if one of the drive wheels goes over a manhole cover it can cause the car to launch forward with rapid acceleration so i try to avoid manhole covers while slowing down.

    Tyre pressure

    That makes good sense, I'll get on that straight away..

    Tyre pressure

    I had my tyres as factory inflated to 2.6 bar, as you say the tyres wore in the middle so when replacements were fitted they were inflated to 2.2 bar and all was good until winter when the really cold frosts triggered the puncture warning on random wheels because the cold air made them read...

    Car wash

    Never had any issues with any of the above in an automatic car wash, just make sure to disengage the auto hand brake and put it in neutral as soon as the conveyor belt takes the car and don't turn the car off

    Stoneacre Nottingham - MG Dealer Discussion, Opinions & Experiences

    Also not the worse news in the world, never got a car from a dealership where I know more about the car than they do. I just feel sorry for the Fiat 500 EV customers that still have to listen to them babble on.

    help! Wife has locked key in boot!

    It's actually very easy to do, if the car is locked and you use boot only unlock, drop the keys in the boot then shut it everything locks and won't open again

    BP dropping the charging price on ultra fast chargers

    All i can say is that you have a real problem with your car or driving habit if you think it's comparable to a WRX running cost

    Should I have watched these before I purchased 2 electric cars?

    Well as it seems you don't like people disagreeing with you I'll leave it at that, I'm sure everyone can read all the posts and come to the sensible conclusion but i will just say that you have not said that 90 mph is too fast to be driving but as you say you're entitled to your own opinion and...

    Gridserve Rapid Charging Issue

    They certainly started out that way but do seem to have lost the ball at present, hopefully they will be able to pick up the ball and continue with there work.

    Should I have watched these before I purchased 2 electric cars?

    Just a little point that you again seem to have taken too far, you do not have the right to say anything you want about anything that you choose, freedom of speech no longer exists in this country so it's time to step down off that big horse and take other people's points of view in the context...
