    ECM, PEU, TCM Update

    Strapping a camera isn't a bad idea! I think if you paid that way strangely it makes it more difficult which is frustrating. Nothing on a credit card even anything towards a deposit? Honestly you do the right thing in not getting credit if you can but the system gives you less protection...

    ECM, PEU, TCM Update

    Hi Nico It's was the same from my dealership and they advised I contact the finance company (don't know if you have used one) and they will appoint an independent evaluator. If the evaluator says it is unfit then they will take the car back. Unfortunately all around this time I've had to deal...

    ECM, PEU, TCM Update

    Well done on getting the video, but it doesn't really show the problem. Since the ECM, PEU, TCM update, my car has been largely like that on regular roads, which isn't too bad, found the fuel economy to be roughly the same, but still get the odd rev surge to 4k plus. On motorways however, the...

    New MG ZS Hybrid+ Trophy

    And I'm 36, 19 years no claims, safe area - around the same cost. It is quite an expensive car to insure unfortunately

    New MG ZS Hybrid+ Trophy

    Is that still not sorted. It's very frustrating as ideally you buy insurance a few weeks before it is due to get the best deal. They likely won't register the car until the date of delivery. My dealer and I think all MGs do driveway insurance and could extend this free for 5 days, so ask them to...

    ECM, PEU, TCM Update

    I've given it pretty much a couple of weeks. I'd say there has been a little improvement but certainly not to where you would expect it to be. Have been keeping in communication with the dealership and been advised to speak to the finance company and obtain an independent evaluation as to...

    MG ZS HYBRID+ Gets Fix After Acceleration Issue Exposed by CarSauce

    Hi also just to add, 5000rpm at any consistent level is bad for the engine at any point, particularly a new car. In fact the user manual on page 137 states this: Running-in The engine, transmission, brakes and tyres need time to "bed-in" and adjust to the demands of everyday motoring. During...

    Vibration

    Strange when you say through the pedal but could be wheel balance? Slightly off can cause vibrations at specific speeds or revs

    ECM, PEU, TCM Update

    Tempting but would invalidate the paint warranty haha. So 2 hours on the update and unfortunately had issues on the motorway on the way back, decided when accelerating from 60 to 70mph to go to 5k revs. Also noticed battery going lower than usual. By the time I got to my regular hill the...

    ECM, PEU, TCM Update

    Just arrived at the dealership for this update. No rev on the regular hill, no revs above 2.5k all the way, EV mode at 70mph and 65mpg start to finish. They are going to find no fault 🤣 Apologies missed your messages Mick and Mickel. Will respond later on

    ECM, PEU, TCM Update

    Thanks, I hope so! Haha you in Marlow or something? I'm in West Yorkshire so most things are cheap (because we don't like being ripped off), stolen or on credit!

    ECM, PEU, TCM Update

    Agreed, it is poor from MG. I get why they are saying it from a defensive commercial position and potentially legally also, but it isn't acceptable. The PD052 from what I understood today rectified the low battery and thus low power issue, which apparently my car has had and I have not...
