I used to park on quite a steep slope when I first got the car and followed the same routine as I mentioned in my last post and never had the parking brake hold itself on, whether I pressed the "P" or just switched it off, unless I applied hill start assist by pressing the brake hard before...

Not sure how or why your brake is on to start with, but the best way to park your car is to either press "P" on the selector knob or just turn the car off, don't use the parking brake switch. Pressing "P" or turning it off engages the parking brake automatically and when you next start up and...

That's less than the cost of AA cover for 3 years, which you get free with the dealer servicing. I paid £430 for the same deal 2 years ago. It gets a little more expensive after three years. SWMBO's MG5 4th service (not including MOT) was £290 but it included transmission (transfer box) oil...

I've not seen it on mine. ISTR the ZS ev had it on the app initially then it disappeared from theirs.

I was wondering if the AEB has anything to do with these bushes failing being as it's so harsh when it comes on ?

LED bulbs for the interior light and the centre console tray are the most useful accessories I've bought. Mud flaps do seem to keep a little bit of the road spay off the rear end but not much. Another useful accessory are the 1kg dehumidifier bags to keep the misting down. These large ones don't...

So the "learning" procedure mentioned before may just be pressures and not positions. 🤔

Sounds like a 10mm spanner job to me. :giggle: I don't suppose the dealer has tried that ?

It's a pain when apps log you out. I now check all my charging apps after updates to make sure I'm still logged in after having to faff about for 15 minutes at a charger when the app had logged me out. Google password manager works quite well for me.

The car doesn't download the maps, you download the relevant file from the website to a USB stick then you transfer it to the car.

I think if I had problems feeling through the soles of thicker shoes then I would have my feet checked. You may have type 2 diabetes coming on where the feeling in your feet and lower legs can be affected leading to pins and needles then eventually gout or worse (amputation).

On mine I have to press the brake quite hard and the pedal suddenly drops a bit then the car fires up in READY mode.

When you had the tailgate tightened, was it done via the bump stops ? The reason I ask is that one owner had a problem with the tailgate not being closed properly (fully) was causing other problems (not going into drive was one IIRC) but no red warning on the dash to say it wasn't shut. I...

Are all the doors and boot shut tight ?

I'm not interested in mpg, more so pence per mile. The Toyota Prius I had averaged out at 14p/mile, my MG4 averages out at 3.7p/mile. This is almost all short trips og 3 miles each way, charging at home (all 7kW) and including some free electricity from EDF's Sunday saver scheme. I don't know...
