Hi Salty, No vibrations at all, nothing untowards at all, just unnerving. It's going in for it's 45,000 mile service next week. It probably won't make the noise when I take it out to show them.... Thankyou for the response. I will revert.

So this past few weeks we have been getting around 205 miles on a charge, in and around Worcestershire. It's no longer dropping suddenly down towards the 160 mark as it usually did. It just drops mile by mile. Perfect. However, it's going into Gloucester MG next week for a it's annual...

What a fabulous read. Really interesting and entertaining. Sorry for the Peugeot woes though. My dear lady wife also love our 3.5 years and 45,000 miles with the ZS also. Now getting over 200 miles true range in this warmer weather. Really chuffed with it. Thank you.

Hiya, I see some posts in here regarding strange vibration, cyclic rumblings. This is a weird one, not related to the tyres, but remaining at a constant frequency, with the pitch rising and dropping regularly at around 3 second cycles. I can only describe it as a low pitched Thrumming...

Ahh, I will have to check that Keiran. Thank you for that response.

We have had ther MG ZS for 40,000 miles and I am worried the 12 volt, battery will suddenly let us down - where and when we least expect it to. When driving the meter still shows a healthy charge, but really, a nearly four year old battery still functioning as if it were new?! The longetivity...

Does anyone use Octopus with Ohme? I have had the Ohme for the 3.5 years we have owned thew MG ZS. Whch we still think is a brilliant car. We are having billing issues with Octopus after we changed from Bulb. They agree they have a back billing issue and we have had three refunds for...

I never thought about that. I recall it was something my dad used to do when I was a kid. it makes a great deal of sense. Thank you for mentioning it. I didn't even know that was a thing. I do now though. Thank you. This forum is extremely valuable isn't it?!

My ZS Gen 1 collision control has never activated in over 20,000 miles. In fact I have often worried it isnt working. Not that we drive too close ever, but it has beeped at us a few times. Do I need cruise control to be on for it to auto activate?

The mud and muck is a camera issue for sure, also on my Volvo V40, so I had a pair of mudflaps fitted to the rear wheels on both cars. I think they were £11 per pair online. Ebay, universal fittings, I never did sus out how the stupid brackets should work so just screwed them into place through...

Yes, I did, but I have a local place who I always use, and it's convenient. I trust them. Yes, I think I do notice a road noise difference - maybe if I had all four done, then it'd be quite obviously quieter.

Thank you for the info. I think the Goodyear Efficient Grip 2 were 135 each. I just changed the front at 21,000, though was was a few more months wear on them maybe.

Wholeheartedly agree... it's a wonderful car to drive, and niggle free (almost).

That's a really good tip. Doesn't smear then? Thankyou.

This is brilliant - thank you so much. I will check local supplier for the Goodyear. Much appreciated. Thank you for the above information - I had the Goodyear's fitted yesterday. Quite happy with them. :)
