    New ZS EV paint problem!

    Ok, as above MG has been assessing my car's paint issue. Today the service manager at my dealership called me to tell me MG has authorised the warranty work to go ahead. Excellent news of course & it's all been bother free. The body shop will be stripping & respraying the bonnet & roof. This...

    Is ismart always this useless

    Yep, take your car to the dealer. They'll sort it no problem. You have a new car gremlin! Probably just needs the 12v battery disconnecting to reset the instruments & pretty much everything else. Or your 12v battery isn't charged enough. That causes multiple errors to occur. Don't do it yourself!

    The exclamation Mark is your Lane Keep Assist or Traffic Jam Assist. They don't function at start up untill you get going, if I remember correctly.

    Is ismart always this useless

    Ok, that's the cars emergency service calling function not working. This may be a pointer to the problem. Perhaps an antenna issue. I think time to consult your dealer. I take it your 12v battery is well charged?

    MG voted worst car maker to represent in car dealer survey

    My dealer is multi franchise & tells me MG cars are usually pretty trouble free. It's rare to get issues. He sells a lot of cars including MG & I know the dealer very well as I've bought cars from them for years. The one criticism they make of MG is they are sometimes poor communicators & a bit...

    Is ismart always this useless

    Does it work elsewhere away from your home? Additionally, phone signals can be disrupted by other powerful radio signals such as taxi firms nearby when they broadcast, police & other emergency service broadcasts when they are close by. I've known folks living near airports to lose mobile signals...

    Is ismart always this useless

    Remember both your own phones mobile signal AND the cars own mobile signal must be good for the app to work really well each time. In my home my phone signal is fine. Outside behind my home on my drive where I park the car, the signal for the car is pretty poor. This affects how & if the app...

    Can i disable 'power limited' option?

    I don't know how long the op has been driving EV's but it's pretty easy to avoid these low battery situations pretty much whatever the journey. Just check where your charging stations are! Disabling this function implies they are expecting it to happen often. When in fact it should be a very...

    Charging Power - What Should I expect?

    My own Long Range ZS will charge at a maximum of 94kw. I think your Short Range model chargers at max 76kw. The rate of charge you actually get depends on several factors. Temperature of the batteries, very cold is slower. How many cars are using your charger that you plugged into also affects...

    New ZS EV paint problem!

    Yes thanks Fred. That's already been done. My question is aimed at finding out if others have experienced any similar paint issues. This could assist my claim which is currently being assessed. As I mentioned in my post, they currently require more photos.

    New ZS EV paint problem!

    Hi everyone. I've owned my new MG ZS EV since the end of January '25'. A great car and enjoyable to drive. Very pleased with it. However, I noticed some small dark blotches under the clear coat paint on the bonnet & the roof. They are spaced out across the panels & frankly look like dirty water...
