I have been involved with a similar issue. An MG5 was on a rapid charger at 98% and the charge was getting slower and slower. I know the driver was aware because his son came out to check. There was a queue of 3 or 4 cars (I was first). The charger then stopped and stated it had completed the...

Yes it's OK to leave the car on, in neutral and handbrake off.

You need to turn the car off to start a charge, but one it has commenced you can turn the car back on (but do not press the brake pedal) to gain access to HVAC and infotainment etc.

I used this supplier. It seems to work fine. I asked for a weatherproof connector to be fitted just in case I needed it. https://evcables.com/products/mg-vehicle-to-load-v2l-discharge-cable

There are no major difference between the 1st and 2nd gen versions of the MGZS ev. The only differences are the front and rear bumper assemblies, the interior trim and infotainment system. Anything that fits one fits the other. I have moved items from my old one to the new one with no problems.

The ACC system is from Bosch and was designed for ICE vehicles and then adapted for MG. It is not possible for it to be updated to include regen. I agree it's a useful tool but needs to be turned off when on long downhill roads as it will in fact apply the brakes to keep speed down so it not...

It does seem a bit odd, knowing as we do that the cars are built in batches. My silver trophy connect, ordered in November 21 was delivered and collected at the end of July. I would have thought that all the Silver TCs would have been brought across in a batch. It could just turn up on a...

Hi all, I can't find any reference for this so far, but does anybody know what the long range HV battery voltage should be when 100% charged? Got mine last week and want to know if battery is properly equalised when I get round to it.

Yes MG ZS minimum is 20mph, useful for all the lower speed restrictions in London.

Long range Trophy Connect, Silver, ordered in November 21 finally collected 27/07/22 from Chorley Group.

Just heard from Chorley Group. 4 transporters arrived out of the blue with MGs and Nissans, including my Silver Trophy Connect Lo g range that I ordered on 21st November. Collecting it next week. Will update tracker once I have my grubby hands on it.

Not sure if it will help, but check through the options list on the infotainment screen, something may have been turned off, blocking the MG Pilot systems. The other thing may be the camera is not calibrated and this would also stop some systems working. It IS a dealer issue.

If it hasn't had that one it probably needs others too.

Just found this after a year Mike describes the update.

This car needs an update to be installed. I think it's the BMS. The dealer should be able to install it. Probably needs other updates too.
