... and it no longer clicks on every turn, yay! We had to wait almost six months for the replacement steering column to arrive from China, but the garage called as soon as it did and got the car in at the earliest opportunity. It;s so much nicer to drive.

Whilst it was there we asked them to update the BMS and any other software that was out of date - it took an extra day as everything was 'at least one revision behind, some were more'. According to my wife who went to collect it, they updated around 12 different software packages! Sadly, although the car now has the latest updates across the board, it didn't solve the 'service due' triangle issue which still comes on, regular as clockwork, every month or every 1000kms; they have reported this to MG but I doubt it will make any difference - it seems to be a problem that most of us ZS gen 2 owners are stuck with, at least it's not really onerous to 'silence' it once a month.

After driving around with clicky steering for the last six months, it feels a little strange to have it behaving 'normally' now :ROFLMAO:

We're still waiting for a replacement driver's seat to arrive from China, but that's just a cosmetic issue caused by the driver when the car was delivered and doesn't affect the driveability at all, so happy to wait for a while longer for that to arrive. So overall, we're feeling quite happy this morning.
 
Nice to hear you are pretty well sorted. The software updates process seems very hit and miss not helped by us not being able to see what versions we have installed on delivery. I was assured my Gen 1 was “fully up to date“ …..not. New TCLR “fully up to date” … possibly? Planning first rapid charge for a day when a flat truck outcome is convenient.

Must say though that I love the car and any excuse to drive it.
