It actually makes perfect sense to the government John !. It’s the level headed sensible people like us, that it makes no sense to 🤣. It’s simple, they just shift the goal 🥅 posts to provide an amount of money, then to simply throw away again on other misplaced ideas. You know, like the millions...

I see SO many bits of coil spring on the road these days !. Our rural village has numerous speed bumps dotted around and it is not uncommon to see a piece of coil spring lying on the road. Funny enough, I spotted a piece only yesterday. Saving weight on all cars has become a top priority with...

Honestly - I found that requesting charging charges via the App on our previous ZS EV was never 100% successful. The App would report the changes requested as successful but the car would think differently 😣. I have seen similar with the S5. I have learnt that conducting changes directly in the...

The VAG group recommend tyre rotation should be done every 5,000 miles !. Of course this is not practical for high user cases. I had the wheels rotated front to back on our Golf GTE at every annual service and we were covering about 7 - 8,000 miles per year. They were rotational tyres, so it had...

In the head unit, under charging you have a slider to tell the car to charge to the percentage of charge you want. If you don’t have this selected, it will just charge to the 80% charge level you have selected or it will stop when your off peak finishes. I found this out last week when I wanted...

A lot of low usage cars fail MOT’s because the tyres start to crack and split on the side walls. More so now than ever due to the increase in silicone. Plenty of tread remaining but side wall cracking. The rear tyres on FWD drive cars are often caught out by this situation. Annual or biannual...

Dealers are super super cautious, they want to know if they are going to get paid for their time spent on any car and will require any parts or further work outside of what the customer is willing to pay for themselves. Without an agreement from MG they will not even order any of the parts. If...

I am really struggling to see the logic here tbh. Do they think these are “self healing bushes” here or something ?. A bit like the fire brigade saying :- Aarhh… It’s only a small fire madam, it may put its self out”. Are these people on glue or something ?.

Below is a screen shot of my post dated on the 17th May 2023. The update applied to our early Gen2 ZS EV LR and it necessitated an update to the BCM ( Body Control Module ). As you can see, the main aim of this update was to cure a problem of early models “bricking” and preventing the car from...

There is an update that WILL allow the ZS EV to conduct V2L and NOT have the DRL’s still running, it was carried out on my car. It was linked in with the update that will allow you to stop the car charging from a A/C wall box, when you press the open button on the key fob and remove the cable...

Will you be anywhere close to here ?. Tesco have chargers at this site, I know because I have seen them last year. Chargers are few and far between around that part of Wales. You could pop in and do some shopping while you are waiting, then set off for home ?.

Likely he will be in the new years honours list, looking like there will not be a lot of competition for one. Pity they don’t do a medal for 4th place, we would have a few more to show off. Close but no cigar as they say !.

It’s tends to become a “known” issue, after they have checked to see if they can get paid for it strangely enough 🤣. Conducting warranty work never puts money into the till on the same day, unlike paid service work unfortunately. It can be a long drawn out affair.

Everybody is different and that is great !. Personally for me, one of the big attractions to owning an EV, is that it offers a really nice peaceful / stressless environment to drive in. Some easy listening playing low in the back ground is nice. I don’t want this peace to be corrupted by some...

That is a cracking example TBF. It takes a lot of work / time & money to have a Stag in that condition, you have my respect my friend. I know the thread has gone a bit “off topic” but, sharing stories and experiences is what it all about really folks.
