brake

I've used the ACC quite a lot on my S5 Trophy and generally like it, it's pretty good at leaving appropriate (adjustable) distance and smooth slowing when someone cuts you up etc, but this is new and a bit weird. I was driving along the motorway with ACC set at 68mph, passing something on the...

7 months ago my 23 plate MG4 trophy was almost written off.....I thought it was, the assessor said no. The front end was completely rebuilt by the insurers appointed bodywork specialist which took 3 months because of parts holdups. The car was then sent to an MG dealer to finalise electrical...

I took my Trophy for its second service this week, my first visit to an MG dealership for such excitment (I bought it pre-loved so the first service was undertaken in someone else's ownership). The garage recommended that I might need new rear boots next year, to which my response was "No...

I think I'm posting this as much for myself as others ! Remember, this is a car that weighs circa 2 tons. Easy to overdo it on a greasy road. Similar in weight to a 70s Rolls Royce, which was a hefty car. Fortunately tyres and brakes have improved.

Hi, these have been rusty for some time because they are just bare metal I think? So I decided to clean, treat the rust and then paint. I think they look better now 👍👍

Hi all, I recently bought a second hand mg5 (roughly 3 years old) and I have zero knowledge of cars. The back brakes look rusty. Not the part where the brake pads are but a little in front of that. (See attached photo) Is this of a concern? Thanks!!

I’m curious about what would happen if I pulled up the Electronic Parking Brake (the lever next to the gear selector) or pressed the big P button whilst driving at speed. The reason for asking is that I may be accompanying a very inexperienced new driver and wonder what the best response from...

I know this has been mentioned in other forums, but I've not come across a really conclusive answer (especially for the MGS5). But I'll accept the flak if I've missed it :) I tried out the single pedal operation today and quite liked it, but several times when I was decelerating under regen the...

Hi, I received a couple of SMS messages today that don't make any sense to me... "The brake system of your vehicle (****81) has triggered an alarm on 27-07-2025 17:22:52 GMT+01:00." and "The brake system of your vehicle (****81) has triggered an alarm on 27-07-2025 17:22:52 GMT+01:00." Looking...

Whilst out today I was going down hill following a Mercedes and it did something I've never seen before, the red light at bottom of rear bumper kept repeating a sequence, other lights were doing nothing. Is this what our MG ZS hybrids do when we are in Regen 3 and coasting down hill?

My MG4 Trophy Long Range has just been recovered by The AA to take to the dealer. They performed a "suspended" tow with the rear wheels on the towing mechanism. Not long after they left my property I got two SMS messages with following: The brake system of your vehicle (***444) has triggered an...

To see when the brake lights operate under regeneration, I unclipped the high level brake light so I could watch it in the mirror whilst driving. At Level 1 with gentle deceleration, it hardly comes on. Level 2 only when you suddenly decelerate and Level 3 more often as you would expect. I...

Have an MG4 coming up to 12 months old, 16000 miles. It's developed a clunking noise from the rear passenger wheel when either accelerating (forward or reverse) or when applying the brakes to slow down. Intermittent so not all the time but enough that it is noticeable. Booked in to dealership in...

Does anyone know which of the 2 P's on the centre consul of the new HS Phev is the ' hand brake' and which initiates the parking stud in the transmission.? Thanks in advance.

Hi if you drive your EV short or long drives and always use the high settings on regen or 1 pedal driving , turn it off on 1 in every 5 or 6 journeys so the normal braking systems get a bit of use and service. Alot of EVs have electric parking brakes and some EVs get little use so they tend to...

Looking to replace the rear discs & pads on an MG Hs 2022. I wonder if anyone would be able to provide a ‘blow by blow’ way to undertake the job?🤞

Hi everyone booked my MG3 Hybrid in for it's first fault at 6 weeks since I bought the car there's been an annoying vibration rattle over bumpy roads I noticed today that the cover which covers the high level brake light is loose moving left to right and up and down I don't think they believed...

Hello all, I’m new to this forum although since I collected my new MG3 hybrid I’ve read some interesting articles here. One of which I believe was never definitely answered and that is when using regen3 the car slows rapidly enough to warrant the illumination of the brake lights. The answer was...

Two weeks ago my MG5 stopped working completely with steering lock activated. This is how the problem got resolved... On a 20 minute drive across my city, I noticed that the rear windscreen washer spray was not shooting up high enough, but thought nothing of it. Due to severe congestion the...

Further to past discussions about brake lights coming on under Regen braking: I was following a Skoda EV yesterday and I’m pretty sure that only his two outer brake lights were flashing off and on as he lifted his foot, then accelerated. Coming to a complete stop at traffic lights, all the...
