    Auto lights MG5 LR PFL

    Why are the auto lights on my MG5 LR PFl the first to go off travelling to work on the motorway and the last to come on on my journey home compared with every other car? My MG5 SR PFl however turns the lights on even if it's overcast and rarely turns them off again.

    MGS5 EV temperature display- external temperature

    Can anyone help me? I cannot find any display for the external temperature on my MGS5 EV 2025 49 KWh model. It seems a bit odd as almost every car I’ve bought since 1985 has had one. Is there something that I’m missing?

    LV/12V electrical system

    Afternoon all. Is there anyone around in here who has reasonable knowledge of the 12V system on the MG5? What I am looking to do is to possibly use a smart relay to charge a second 12V battery to run some "other equipment" when the vehicle may be shut down. Thanks in advance Piggly
