The irony of it all is I worked in the motor trade for 21 years, we called it... RTFM, Any ideas on the acronym? Lol...

Freeze for a fiver, or just be normal...lol. I actually tried the sport mode last night and the heat response was noticeably hotter... Think I've saved a trip to MG. Thanks Peter for input. No bonnet heating ain't an issue... Lol, just pointing out how noticeable without the engine heat source...

Great point! Never thought about that, but usually drive it in ECO mode, (makes me feel flush 🤑 on miles, lol) thank you. will check and report back 😎 Never checked that in fairness. I have the screen display set to °degrees, so it gives me a better idea (saw an online post for it and adjusted...

Heater blowing warm heat on HI, slight improvement on recirculation mode, but the HI setting is tepid at best, seems then intermittently gives out the heat at the level it should. I was thinking it was due to really cold temp outside, (frozen element) but even after 20 minutes driving with...

New wheel bearing fitted psf, £254.... The difference in the car is just great. Silent driving, must have been going since I bought it in April 2023 as I thought it was noisy, but had nothing to compare it to.

I'm sitting in the garage at the minute, exact same issue... haven't changed the tyres yet, 42500 miles on the car. ZS EV registered March 2020. I diagnosed as a wheel bearing myself, and they have pre ordered one in. Can't understand why warranty wouldn't cover it as it's not a serviceable part

Hi, from what I know it's High Voltage battery shut off.... Most likely as it's not in use its turned off to conserve power. You need to turn off ignition completely and restart the process. I always press the brake when I get in. It's not a fault, just the system. Advise, put foot on the brake...

The radio and Android on my 2020 AS EV are random at least once\twice a week, seem to have a glitch.... Sometimes resets itself.... If not I just hold the power button for about 10 secs and it reboots.

Just got an anniversary letter from the dealership, the ZS EV is now 4years old. I popped into SERE Belfast for a price - £184.00, sounds like a normal inspection service and includes pollen filter... 40k equivalent, seemed reasonable.. But I've no idea what checks are covered.

ahhh the comfort of slow burning diesel consumption ?

Same here, 2020 MG ZS EV... I'm getting 126 miles on a full charge, really shocked by the depletion of it in the cold weather. I drove from Belfast to Dublin on a full charge, literally 0miles left in Dublin, lucky to be arriving at a friend's and its 100 miles by Google, so didn't even go the...

I read this story first and thought the MG pilot stuck on, as one other user mentioned the brakes are mechanical... if the brake light switch failed would the car know the pedal is pressed?! Could have been a very simple fault causing a bigger issue, the car wouldn't just drive itself!? Surely...

I'll always check on eco mode with the air con/blower switched off, shows maximum capacity. My range is 3.4kw per mile. It's showing 170 miles full charge at the minute 5-10 degrees outside in Belfast. I only charge on slow charger at home, use rapid chargers on longer trips

I got my MK1 in April, 32000 miles was giving full charge 189 miles, now dropped to 159 miles in the colder days. I reset the kw per hour (was 3.4kw) then it jumped slightly to 165 miles.... Still handles as Belfast to Dublin motorway trip with 40 mile left when you arrive.. (sticking to the...

A follow up on the m/kwh. Mine is showing 3.4 miles per kilowatt hour, which is really good, I did a run from Belfast to Dublin at the weekend monitoring the tripz I would have got into Dublin City centre on a full charge, but not knowing the EV charging points I didn't want to risk it, stopped...
