Lazy Clock (long press on key fob opens / closes all four windows together) caught me out again today when my key fob got pressed whilst in my pocket.
Has anyone succeeded in disabling the feature on an MG5 SR non-facelift? Can't find anything about it in the manual so I assume it isn't possible.
I drive an electric car. It is fantastic during D for Daylight but as soon as the sun goes down and I set it to N for Nighttime the damn thing won’t move.

Now, if they pitched in with reliability tables as well, that'd be even more useful.
A few lots from lot 9577 onwards on this auction site may be of interest.

By way of a warning that the "done up" sensors on the rear seatbelt sockets are possibly a little fragile.
I realised I was only getting two of the three rear seatbelt idiot lights coming on for the couple of minutes self test at car switchon. A process of elimination confirmed it was the...
Not actually a question, more a little reassurance really. I had been asking myself that question before departing these frozen wastes for 7 weeks in Australia. Here's the answer.
I charged the car as usual a few days previously and timed my running around so the SOC was around 80%
I made sure...
Has anyone installed the rear seat (illuminated) grab handles like these,?

How much of a faff was it? What surgery was needed to the headlining?
How did you manage the fastenings?
How did you connect to the rest of the electrics?
On my 2020 5 Exclusive there's an unused paddle switch next to Mode and KERS. It used to be for selecting battery indication but that was done away with and the switch is unused.
Has anyone accessed under the console and found out if the switch could be pressed into service? I have in mind just...

Just looked at my profile to check if I ought to update the description of my car to MG5 SR. There's no selection for SR or LR, just an MG5.
I guess we'll need the facelift version to be identified as well soon.
Cars in driver-assist mode hit a third of cyclists, all oncoming cars in tests

I don't think it's me, as SWMBO is of a similar opinion, that wildlife doesn't get out of the way of a leccy car anywhere nearly as early as an ICE car. The number of critters we've nearly run down in our MG5 has been startling, especially after our diesel Passat.
I've posted on here before about pepipoo.com as an excellent resource for successfully fighting parking and general motoring tickets. They also offer a general chat forum, in which I found this:

The cover over the unit on the inside of the windscreen, behind the mirror. Has anyone removed it to investigate what's inside? How easy and are there any pitfalls?
Electric car chargers will have to include secure boot and automatic network disconnection if unsigned software runs on the smart devices – but only from 2023, the British government has said.

Your opinions please on charge point operators: good, bad, reliable or not, plus whether or not contactless is available or if payment is just in a walled garden.

It'll be interesting to see how the...
