Hi Fred. I booked my MG ZS in and told them I had a Vehicle Control System Fault message (the car wouldn't start after I had charged it). They messaged me "done loads of software errors in fault memory all updated and cleared" My question now is, how often should I be getting software updates?

Thanks, but where would I find this code, or do I need to take it to the dealer for that?

After charging my car, it wouldn't turn off and I couldn't get it into gear. It showed the message Vehicle Control System Fault After 30 minutes, it seemed to re-set itself. Any advice as to why this would happen?

We have a Zappi charger. It gives the option of taking solar only (panels first, then battery) or a mix of solar and grid or just grid. You can see exactly what's being used from the mobile app.

I have exactly the same problem on my ZS. Its very irritating.

How do I adjust the Zappi to charge a full 100%? At present, it is stopping at 80%.

Sorry its an MG ZS ev

Can anyone tell me what this is? Black box, approx 4"x4", situated at the middle, front of the car, below number plate.

We have a Zappi. Cost us £999 for the unit and installation, which included, a separate consumer unit. It's absolutely brilliant. Couldn't be more pleased. We have solar panels and batteries and the car is costing next to nothing to charge, now its summer.

I totally agree. We have 16 panels, all South and 2x5kWh batteries. For about 3 months of the year (summertime), we are off the grid and charge the car fir nothing. We also get about £800 per year back on the feed in tariff.

We are on this tariff and het about 10% battery charge per hour (so 40% charge over the 4 hour, cheap period). This is fine for us as we rarely do over 40% in a day.

Can ypu explain what the MG app is? I clearly don't have this, but sounds useful.

I obviously don't unlock the phone while I driving, but when a message comes through, the car radio and/or sat nav stops ?‍♀️

Silly question, but how do I keep my phone locked?

If a message comes through on my phone, it automatically stops the radio or sat navigation. Is there any way to overview this?
