Hi all, l might be thinking outside the box here?, but because l find MG5 drivers seat uncomfortable, and sitting in the grand-daughters MG ZS more supportive.
Does anyone know if an MG ZS drivers seat could be used to replace the MG5 drivers seat?
Is it a common complaint MG5 drivers seat cushion not long enough?, or is it only me?{longshanks}
 
I think the zs seat is higher so its worth measuring the height on the zs at the lowest adjustment and seeing if the mg5 can raise to that height and if you can see comfortably while driving. Also disconnect the 12v battery before and during taking the seat out the seatbelt and seat weight sensors may make the car upset if they are unplugged while it's awake.

Always good advice, it'll throw an airbag error at very least.

Nope myself and three other MG5 driving colleagues all complain about the seat. I just find the whole driving position uncomfortable. I feel like the seat in my car is slighty wonky.
To start with it felt comfy but after a month the upholstery must have sagged and I notice all lumps and bumps.

Hi, bought this for £16 on amazon. just did 220mls to Yarmouth and back, comfortable ride with leg support. it seems to be the answer for seat extension.
Update. Still much more comfortable. So I bought another one for passengers seat comfort, i.e. Me, as I sometimes get my son to drive { so I can have a drink or two LOL }

I manage a car dealership (not MG) and recently bought a 5, spent a day driving it and thought it would have to be sold straight away… the lumbar was torturous and left my back in tatters… our technicians butchered the drivers seat and removed a plate that pushes the lumbar out, and it has made the world of difference…
