I'd have been tempted to go with "would you like to play a game" possibly with the addition of a squeaking tricycle. But horror films aren't for everyone and it might be a bit much for unannounced visitors.

I didn't opt for doing it sensibly. I just reverse while accelerating and braking together a few times till it stopped happening. My guess was that its the rear brakes which get applied with the hand brake causing trapped salt and water but don't get as much wear when out and about due to the...

And I should add having used motion triggered cctv their algorithms are not tuneable. There is no way to stop it calling shadows from headlights a person. So playing with gadgets is certainly a viable alternative if you have the time.

I found it necessary to clean the pads as I disliked the squeal that happened reversing in the morning. I think some of it is no garage and a salty environment but if it didnt make a noise I'd probably have needed new pads at some point.

To be fair I bought the arduino when there wasnt a full size Bluetooth keyboard. But I didn't quite get round to finishing building one (in the intervening years) before one was released and fell to a reasonable price. I definitely love my gadgets even if I'm too impatient to wait for them to...

I didn't even notice 😂

Knobs are tactile though. You can set the dials to max then wind back to your desired position without having to look.

I think the infotainment is overheating when it freezes. Mine (MG5 LR pre facelift) froze mid journey for the first time and it was after I put the heating on full and opened the vents on either side of it. I can't remember the last time I opened those vents or the last time it froze mid...

I don't. . . I've got an arduino. Unfortunately someone made the thing I got the arduino for so now it's waiting for a new project (to wait for). I did have a projector with 3D at one point but 3D glasses just give me a headache while I look at the two separate superimposed images 😅

I'll check at some point to see if the kers comes on as soon as no accelerator, with the brake peddle or not at all.

If you put cruise control on at a low speed i think you can accelerate above it and friction brake back down to it. It does at least turn off kers when you aren't using the brake peddle.

The multiple errors come on when you start the car after disconnecting the 12v and they don't go away until you drive the car then "turn the ignition off". So may be unrelated to other issues.

You could also ask the company that fitted it to check that if they seem more willing to come out. As the dno may be unwilling to come look based on a charger issue. Or if you think £20 is worth it get plug in tester like This

I put a bit of dishwasher rinsaid on a damp cloth to wipe it and that seemed to last acceptably. I do wonder just how high the percentage of IT related owners is for the mg5.

Bit late for yesterday but it sounds like it could be an issue with 3 phase charging since the 3 pin one is one phase (but I'm not an expert). Prior to taking it to a garagw its woth trying a 7kw charger if there is one as that's also single phase (or if you can borrow a single phase 32amp type...

Although it's been a while I do recall the keep awake thing being mentioned (tester present pin on obd2 port maybe?). The reason not to use it was it kept the car awake and the power draw could drain the 12v. Since that wouldn't be a problem on a charger you might find a way to make use of it...

It's more likely they charge them for test drives but even if they have left it at 100% it's not in my opinion likely to have a noticable impact on range yet. You could test drive it, charge to 100% reset the trip data and check the gom to see if it has major battery deterioration, or ask them...

The 98% soh suggests everything is pretty good. I can't actually remember what the normal and eco defaults are supposed to be. If no one else helpfully responds ill double check next time I balance charge. Did you have the fan at 0 as I think it changes them if you put it on.

The battery will deteriorate a little every year, the car automatically protects it from excessive deterioration by limiting the minimum and maximum charge and mainting a good temperature range. Between 0-20% and 80-100% the closer you go to full or empty the faster it deteriorates so leaving it...

Unhelpfully there are 2 in Scotland available for whichever cars tesla likes more than mg. Definitely worth getting a cps card and doing a little planning for longer journeys in Scotland as there are some areas where it is easy to get a rapid charge and some where you would wish you had charged...
