Really basic one (why isn't it there already?) warning beep if you've left the headlights on when you open the driver's door.

I have nothing against the Michelins (had them on my Duster and they were great), but it's worth doing some comparisons before parting with your hard earned money. In the AutoBild review for example here the Pirelli Cinturato comes out on top, similar in the Parkers. I ended up getting the...

What I should have said was I fitted the All Seasons just to the front wheels on the Duster, the original (summer) rears were still ok. I never had an issue with that mix in the following 28k miles - BUT the Duster is front wheel drive. For info I've just replaced all 4 on that car with Goodyear...

Sidetrack back to booster packs if I may, and their storage. Would it be ok to store one under the bonnet - suitably wrapped and secured? Bonnet release would still work if 12v dies, and I'd feel happier with it NOT under a seat in the cabin!

Thanks for your thoughts, I'll check out those headrest hooks. My issue with the S5 hooks is they are too small for anything other than plastic carrier bags (which we won't use), and on the weekly shop there's always one bag that I can't wedge in.... EDIT - or the Christmas shop... 😬

Does anyone else find the "shopping bag" hooks in the boot virtually unusable? They are so small the bag handles fall off almost immediately, certainly when cornering. More importantly - anyone found an upgrade/mod that improves the hooks?

Is it ok to use V2L when the car is in a closed garage? No ventilation issues etc? Considering running a few devices temporarily from the car whilst it is parked in the garage. Assume max current draw is 13 amp?

I've seen reports elsewhere that if you lift the tailgate to the height you want, hold the "boot button" until it beeps, release button, then press again - the tailgate closes and remembers the setting. Just a suggestion - since my original post I've not had any further problems with the...

No need to remove the wheel. The lower fixing is a screw, use the right-angle screwdriver in the pack to undo it. The other clips are push in, if you lever the centre section out carefully then the clip can be re-used (if you wish).

Both sets are still available. Both will fit the MGS5 - they were bought for my car. The supplier messed up which is why I have these extras left over. The ES5 is the model designation in China (same car).

Yes these are the ones I got (5 piece set). Took about 2 weeks to ship to UK. Take care with positioning them as it's difficult to move them when stuck, but they do a great job.

Thing to watch for is the plain ones are not quite square (or rather oblong!), have to be a bit careful when cutting/sticking. Suggestion would be to line the tape on the outside of the sill and hide the cut edge under the door seal. Apols if this is obvious!

Full set (10 items) of plain stick-on sill protectors for the MG S5. They are shaped and handed so you need to work which sill they fit. They look like heavy duty "sticky back plastic" but stick really well and protect the whole width of the sill. Also available are a set of protectors with...

Finally got these plain sill protectors from MGTitan fitted: They stick like s**t so it's important to get the alignment right first time. I decided to fit the boot protector as well - you can see the strip when the boot is shut but as the colour matches the bumper I reckon it's ok...

Go into the satnav settings and turn it off in there - I missed that as well!
