    Battery balancing. No

    On our previous ZS EV in the charging section ( in the head unit ) under the settings for delayed charging times. I do remember seeing a slide button, that when selected, it would allow the car to continue charging AFTER the selected off peak rate had ended. Saved messing about with your normal...

    Surprising behaviour

    It probably can, until the car is closed down, then it does need the key again to restart it.

    MG pilot shortcut button

    I don’t think the shortcut buttons on the steering wheel can be set up to select your own personal MG Pilot settings. They tend to be utilised for selecting Regen strength and climate control etc. You have to swipe down on the head unit screen and press the MG Pilot button and then confirm your...

    IMMEDIATE ATTENTION - Replacement Brake Pads

    As long as you got the necessary result, it’s still a job well done and a lot of cash saved over dealer prices 👍. Tell me, so you pushed back the pistons and replaced the pads. How did you find pumping up the footbrake after ?. Did you do it BEFORE connecting up the battery, or did you have to...

    IMMEDIATE ATTENTION - Replacement Brake Pads

    When you say “it also required to be pushed in”. I assume you mean the hydraulic brake piston in the calliper, in order to create enough space, to house the new thicker brake pads ?. What about this alternative method that may work, tell me what you think of this 🤷🏻. First release the handbrake...

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    To late my friend !. Sorry, but there is already a “death tax” in place. One thing is certain - you enter this world with nothing and leave this world with nothing as well !.

    Got our MGS5 this Week: Shocking Discovery

    On the Trophy model, the drivers seat is electric powered and therefore it has to house the drive motor and adjustment mechanism under the seat, so I don't think that drivers seat can be lowered to the same level as the passengers seat. The passengers seat is a totally manual adjustment and the...

    Home charging cable plug melt down

    Given the state of that 3 pin plug, then I would strongly suggest that you consider replacing the socket outlet front that it was plugged into. Surprised it never tripped the breaker tbh ?. Assuming your consumer board ( fuse box ) has them installed of course. If not, then consider replacing...

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    It’s the divide and conquer strategy. Start with the small fish first. If you ask any ICE driver if they agree that EV’s should be paying more than they currently are, then of course they are going to say YES !. Not stopping to think for one second, if a pay per mile system works successfully on...

    Test 12volt battery

    Tbh - Not even the top end 12 volt battery testers, can’t give a definitive 100% accurate answer on the ability to charge and more importantly store and retain energy when the car is not in use. Battery testers can be fooled into reporting a really good SOH in error. 12 volt batteries are very...

    Pay per mile. Another blow for EV drivers

    Let’s be really clear here folks !. Now the government have introduced a “pay per mile” system change on EV’s and PHEV’s from 2028, this is only the introduction into expanding this system on to ALL fuel types for private vehicles.
