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. :)

Thank you this is really helpful. The compromise I guess comes from price difference vs. safety and longevity - bearing in mind wife and kids and a very precious cargo!

So, the front ones look pretty low, though still legal apparently. All this snow this week makes me want to change the front ones now. Anyone any experience of which type, brand might suit the 2020 EV best. I think grippy in the wet, more important than speed performance, Any suggestions...

Just as a quick update - the noise went away - so it's not bothering us now. Very strange - as we did nothing. It's gone from intensely irritating to nothing.

Going back to our previous conversations, I have just discovered what the smelly socks stink is all about... It starts at start up and goes away within a few minutes. It's the Screen Washer liquid - cheap B&Q. Simple as that! So now that the temperatures are rising again, I can begin to use...
