I agree. If I'd had this car when I was 19, and a real boy racer, I very much doubt that I would have made it to 20. 😅🤣🤣

In the Merry Xmas thread I said that the S5 is a lovely car to drive, but the software is often flaky. "Flaky," is where the radio turns on automatically some times, but not others; where the info screen turns on instantly some times, but takes a minute to boot up at others; where you get a...

All this talk about external arials reminds me of the early 70's when it was standard practice among 'enthusiasts' to drill a hole in the wing and install an 8 ft fibre glass whip and pin it back to the roof gutter. If I thought there was a standard antenna connection in the back of the S5...

Same here, i wasn't convinced about the steering wheel when I had a test drive, but after 5 months of ownership it now feels very natural. In fact I find that the steering is generally one of the aspects I like most about the car. It has a very tight turning circle and, for me, the turning ratio...

I wonder if anyone actually drives with the "pay attention" and "take a break" features active. I forgot to apply MG Pilot one morning last week and it drove me nuts, just on the half mile trip to the supermarket

Here's mine for November. 95% urban use ferrying grandkids. Always use OPD, AC on auto 21C, and NORMAL mode (except on one occassion when a yoof in an Astra with a baked bean can exhaust started giving me the bad eye at a set of traffic lights.... whereupon I must admit I thought it only right...

I've obviously asked a daft question.

I always control scheduled charging from the app, and have never selected the battery heating option. Today, I was messing around with the in-car menus and I see that 'intelligent battery heating' is selected ON in the battery charging settings. I've read through several threads about this on...

I've criticised it several times on here. It's the biggest let down in an otherwise enjoyable car, IMO.

I turned off the a/c, heating and Hold this morning and when I got home there were still half dozen clunks after about a minute or so. But a lot fewer than previously noted, and over a shorter time span and with no fluid purging sounds. So I guess that the a/c makes the major difference. Your...

I did the same this morning, and I agree. Take off is noticeably improved and OPD appears to be unaffected. Thanks for the tip Pete.

I use OPD all the time and I think HOLD is On by default so I'll turn them off to see if things change .

A quick question purely out of curiosity . When I pick up my grandkids from school, I park-up and sometimes turn the car OFF from the pulldown menu. After a few minutes there's a series of chunks, clicks, and whirring sounds from under the bonnet, and sounds of fluids being purged. This can go...

Well I'm 76 and 16st+ if that helps 😅

I'm using Indra with solar feed-through which had been easy to set up and use. Even yesterday I managed 8.4kW free from surplus solar charge.
