    Lazy Lock - Remote open/close all windows. Can it be disabled?

    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.

    Odd problem with the car

    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.

    EV charging price comparison tool

    Eyeup EV-ers. Saw a reference to this site today. Looks moderately useful. Compare Public EV Networks Now, if they pitched in with reliability tables as well, that'd be even more useful.

    Maybe interesting to a few

    A few lots from lot 9577 onwards on this auction site may be of interest. Beware of Buyers Premium. "Internet charge", postage and VAT, which can add significantly to the hammer price. Caveat emptor...

    Rear seat seatbelt issue. Fragile electrics.

    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...

    How long can I leave MG5?

    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,? MERCEDES ML W164 2006-2009 ROOF GRAB HANDLES FULL SET X4 | eBay 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?

    "Unused" Centre console switch

    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...

    Change needed to the members cars selection

    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.

    Take care out there! This from "The Register"

    Cars in driver-assist mode hit a third of cyclists, all oncoming cars in tests Don't rely too much on automatics yet. Autonomous cars may be further away than believed. Testing of three leading systems found they hit a third of cyclists, and failed to avoid any oncoming cars. Full article...

    Sneaking up on wildlife

    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.

    More EV infrastructure unpreparedness. (Techie though)

    Charge point operators - good 'uns and bad 'uns

    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. I suppose we'll need to separate between the 3-7kW, 22-49kW and anything greater than 50kW, It'll be interesting to see how the...
