That is the good thing with second hand cars these days, without the long list of extras most are the same these days so a good deal can be had! I do miss going through all the trims and selecting the car I want then getting the prices etc, then the massive wait, then getting a nice shiny new...

As you may have read on the main MG5 forum, I lost my job and my company car (The MG5.) Well I am back in a job and was able to stay EV but now in a Hyundai Kona so I have no need for the aftermarket window shades I bought for the pre-face lift MG5 I had to start with. They were an impulse...

Well it took two months, but I am back in employment. The construction industry is horrible at the moment. I'm down a bit on money but we used some of our savings to buy a 2nd hand Hyundai Kona EV. Its similar in most ways to the MG 5 better in some worse in others but still a nice car to...

Which lamps did you use?

I'm surprised how much I am liking them, I was very disappointed with the original shape 5 to start with but had a grudging respect/like for it after a year. Then I was swapped into a FL 5 and the respect/like went into full on love for the car. I also had a 3 week loaner of an HS while the...

Unfortunately, I was laid off yesterday and will have to return my facelift next Wednesday so I will probably be around a lot less. Depending on what job I find I may well buy my own 5 or ZS as since changing to the facelift I was really quite enjoying the car and then you'll see me again. I'm...

Android is strange, I have a game for my toddler installed on my phone which it is apparently incompatible with. It works fine. I created a separate user account for him so he couldn't wipe stuff off my phone accidentally and they won't let me install the game on that same phone. Have you...

Android 8.0 is the earliest version that will work with smart. Could be new features clash with your particular phone as all manufacturers tinker with the software. Goole Play Store ismart Go towards the bottom of the page, click on about this app and it will tell you if your phone is...

My MG5 FL has been at Glyn Hopkins for a fortnight, have they fixed the defrost window/pre-warm the cabin function? Eversince they changed the white screen version I can't do anything but blast cold air from the vents.

They have a coffee shop! That's why I use the Genie Point 50kw when I'm in Bridlington. Morrisons have the only rapid charger in town.

Instavolt have installed 150 and 350kw rapids by a Tesco express by me Morrisons quite often have a 50kw Genie Point, I use the one at Bridlington when I visit my old man. Tesco and Sainsburys by me have ....... bugger all.

I've used the MFG at Buntingford. My home town of nearly 40k people has 4 petrol stations. 2 Shell, 1 Sainsburys and 1 Tesco. I wouldn't be surprised if one Shell closed down. 3 have closed down in the last 10 years.

With the speed the petrol stations keep closing that may not help! I think large supermarkets should be encouraged to cover their roofs in PV and provide a few charging ports.

If its any help I have a facelift MG5 as a company car and before that a Pre-Facelift 5. I also have a HS on loan whilst the stupid tyre pressure sensors are fixed and all three cars have pretty good LKA even on country lanes. Assuming the same person programmed the new MG4 software ;P
