    Breather pipe

    Hi Again Folks, Perhaps and it's only a thought, Southern Hemisphere Black pipe, Northern Hemisphere Gold Pipe.?? As most transmission oil are O.E.P. oils (Oil extreme Pressure) it would make sense to have a more sensitive pressure relief valve in the hotter climates. Or it could be M.G. just...

    Breather pipe

    Hi guys, Just had a look on my car and if we're talking about the little Gold Post sticking out of the transmission casing I think it could be a "Pressure Relief Valve" for the transmission. I maybe wrong but it does sound plausible?. If flooring the loud pedal all the time one could easily get...

    Car alarm goes off after locking car with door button

    Do you sometimes leave the spare keys in the glovebox.? The same thing happened to me when I took the car in for a service, thinking that they might need both keys. It took the technician over half an hour to figure it out. I've now learned a valuable lesson!!.

    Radio On/Off

    Hi Jimpeem, As I have commented before the M.G. interface is a miss-mash of ideas that try to do too much and don't succeed with any of the basics. I use my phone ( Android ) for my music and Sat-Nav, they work together fine and if I use the radio I don't ask the system to do anything else. (...

    Granny Charger !!!!!!

    Hi Headgas1, What a can of worms you have opened up here. There's nothing wrong with the poor old "Granny Charger", I've been using one for over 18 months with no adverse effects what so ever. Yes the plug does get hot, ( so would you if you ran for 5 hours or more !! ). If possible use a...

    You my Friend are not alone, I have a shiny patch and a small split where some one tried to remove it.

    IPhones and Carplay

    Like most of the electronics' on the ZS, which is a miss mash of cockeyed idea's, which don't enhance the driving experience one bit. I've given up with Android Auto which is another hit or miss item. I really do believe that MG should have stuck to the basics if they wanted sell their cars...

    Gridserve serving up a treat!

    Good to hear that EV charging is moving in the right direction, however the outlay for this is not inconsiderable. So expect prices to rise as more EV's take to the roads. Fortunately for me, I do 95% of my charging at home so my outlay is governed by my energy supplier. Having Solar Panels also...

    Hi just bought a 2020 MG Exclusive automatic today. The passenger door would not open when the car stopped even though the child lock was off.

    Hi, all doors stay locked until the drivers door is opened. However you can unlock all the doors by pressing the open switch situated on the drivers door just in front of the drivers door release lever. Fiendish these Chinese.!!

    Home charging

    Forgive me if I'm wrong, but do most of the members on this Forum wear "Belts & Braces"?. Like I said it's, Horses for Courses , if the Granny Charger fails then go get it repaired.!! "Simples" it's not Rocket Science.

    Home charging

    Thanks for you reply, I think I'll stay where I am. You know the old saying " If it's not broken don't fix it" and it's working for me. I should have squeezed a Type 2 lead out of the Dealer but having never needed to use one, I didn't push it.
