    Help to choose between three MG ZS EV 44.5 kWh Exclusive Auto 5dr cars: Is £3000 worth with it?

    I would not go for the most expensive one, not worth it. Warranty is not 7 years on everything, just the battery. Also, my ZS Mk2 is coming up to 60K, drives just fine and the battery seems perfectly fine. I would try to get the cheapest one even cheaper if you can but I would avoid buying...

    How are older ZS doing over time? (rust proofing)

    I would go for ZS. Mine is 2022 standard range Trophy, second hand with almost 60K on the clock now. All good so far and no rust. Just make sure it's got full service record from MG dealers. I would avoid buying privately. I got mine from a non-MG dealer. Not ideal but better then private sale ...

    Steering wheel - peeling/flaking "leather".

    It happens on other cars too, it happened on my not so cheap 5008 Peugeot ... so far my ZS steering wheel is still fine after almost 60,000 miles (coming up to 100,000 km). Lot of things can contribute to this, strong sun, holding and rubbing the steering wheel always in the same place, sweaty...

    Secret menu Mk2 - Pin

    The one I got from AliExpress for a few quid works fine for the past 12 months. The only thing I have to do is unplug it when I turn the car off as it won't play music when I turn the car on again. This is due to my phone Bluetooth fighting it ...

    Shame that the car is often being let down by poorly educated mechanics that can't pinpoint the issues ...

    Head Unit

    To be honest, if I were you in your shoes, I would probably not bother. Lot of work with uncertain result... I'm looking at a dashcam that replaces drivers mirror and comes with rear camera too. So you can actually see front and/or rear camera view in the "mirror" or switch it off and use as...

    Head Unit

    Not many (if anyone at all) ever seen behind the infotainment screen, let alone played with the unit. More chance getting a discussion going if you post what are you trying to achieve. Are you trying to swap the units and why? Or want to add rear view camera? I don't know if that might help you...
