    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.

    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...

    "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.

    Windscreen module (rain sensor gubbins etc). Has anyone removed its cover?

    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?

    Utterly unbelievable customer support! Anyone from MG like to comment?

    I know the education system is supposed to be dumbed down but this is surely taking the biscuit. There has been discussion elsewhere on this board about the reduction gearbox oil being specified as Shell SL2808, and no one knowing anything about it. See Reduction Box Oil I thought I'd see what...

    Navigation - voice volume issue

    Not that long having moved house, I'm still getting used to the area and therefore relying on satnav quite often. On a couple of occasions I have realised that the voice guidance has disappeared. Has anyone else had that issue? Going into nav settings the first time it happened, I discovered...

    KERS experiment

    Set off earlier in my 5, fresh off the charger and 100% battery. I selected E mode and thought about KERS. Now, I know the 5 doesn't allow one to select KERS 3 until the battery has gone down a bit but all I know is that it's "around 95%" Well, there was me, chugging across Norfolk on country...

    Navigation: Agree to the Ts and C's each time it's turned on. Really?

    Hi all. I'm getting increasingly irritated by having to Agree with the navigation system terms of use, Each. And. Every. Time I invoke the damn thing. It's slow enough to initialise anyway! Is there any way to do a one time agreement - at least until the device gets a factory reset when I pass...

    How can one set default values for Mode and KERS?

    As the 5 is "out of the box", it starts up in Normal Mode and KERS 2. I'd like the ability to set different power on defaults and have my car start up in Eco mode and KERS 3 (if it'll wear it, though I think KERS 2 might have to do as that covers all states of charge).

    Family reaction to the new car

    My son-in-law pitched up with the grandkids a day or so after I'd picked up the new car. The oldest grandkid got out. His dad pointed him gently towards where I was standing near the MG. He'd primed the lad for something. It was transparently obvious. With a big grin all across his face the 9...

    ACC mode time out - can this be changed?

    I got into the MG5 to wait for Mrs Fluffykins to get back from her walk. I had pressed the start/stop button without my foot on the brake pedal, so the car came on in Acc mode and I could have the radio on. Nice. After 5 minutes the car turned off and the radio quit, so I had to press...
