I checked out the site. I use the Firefox browser so it translates the page it into English. I plugged in the car's VIN number and it came with a number of documents such as user manual etc. Unfortunately, no map updates.

Hi Bob, I have tried to do a map update and I get the same results as you. Looks like map updates as the user level are not possible.

Got under the car and ran my fingers along the springs. Don't seem to be any cracks. I have had a look at the rubber stops on the tailgate. They are not adjustable. The ones I am looking at are attached to the tailgate. There aren't any other boot stops that I can see. Where are the...

Hi All, I've noticed a knocking noise coming from the rear of the car. It's hard to pinpoint exactly where it's coming from but it happens when going over bumps or quickly steering left and right. I have removed everything from the boot of the car (including puncture kit and foam), the parcel...

I am familiar with all the setting for the reverse camera. When you put the car into reverse, the display normally splits into three screens - 360 view, current view and change view. The display in my original post only come up when you start the car and quickly put it into reverse before all...

Hi Guys, Sometimes when I turn the car on and quickly put it in reverse, the reverse camera on the main display appears as the image below. Most of the screen is taken up by the rear camera with only a small portion of the screen showing the 360 degree view. The part of the display that allow...

Mk2 SR here - After 25,000 km our fronts were down to about 2mm of tread left, the rears had little wear on them. Had them rotated and hopefully can extend the period at which they all need to be replaced. The tyres fitted to the car are Maxxis. Let's just say the replacement tyres will be a...

Standard range MG here. For the startup fault messages I get those every few weeks. They self clear shortly after they appear. The faults seem to appear when the car's on-board system take a while to initialise. I notice this when the touchscreen take a while to fire up. In regard to the...

I don't know if your problem is the same as mine. I have been in a 'HV battery shut off' problem twice. In both situations I found that the brake pedal had gone hard and there was limited travel. To get the car started again I pushed down really hard on the brake pedal with my foot and then...

The other half has had her ZS EV since Jun last year and has clocked up 23k km. I checked the tyres a few weeks ago and found the fronts down to 2mm from the tread wear indicator. The rears were fine with plenty of rubber left. Had the fronts rotated to the back and vice versa. Lesson learnt...

Does the triangle only appear for the long range models? It doesn't appear on the app for our car which is a SR.

We picked our ZS EV Essence SR in Jul this year. The last few months the car has been showing a calculated range of approx 270-280km. Due to the warmer weather here in the ACT this past week we haven't been using the heater and the car's calculated range on the app has increased quite a bit...

Here is Aus, prices vary depending on the max charge rate of the charger. The interesting thing for me was I plugged the car into a 50kw charger in Sydney and the max charge rate was about 24kw. Being in a rush I drove to another charge point with the same capacity, 50kw, but the car was...

Here you go. Yes, we have the option of installing a single phase or 3 phase wall charger to charge the battery. Do you not have the option to charge from a3 phase home charger in the UK?

This is what is on our 1 week old car. Build date is Dec 22. Haven't tried to use the V2L functionality yet.
