Will a 60 Amp fuse be enough ?. The simple answer to that question will depend on how and when you intend to put it’s capabilities to the test really. It is never going to be the same for any two different usage cases. Example :- The first person only charges once or twice a week, he has a “off...

Had somebody pressed the panic button on the key fob in error, by any chance ?.

James openly admits that these vehicles receive a hard life with the minimum amount of attention, purely down to the heavy work load they conduct. Not only are they covering star ship mileage, they are doing it fully ladened five days a week, every week. No doubt they are receiving a fair amount...

I think we all understand that what can be standard fit in other countries, has no reflection on what spec the UK receives. This is common with other manufactures, not just MG. The original ZS EV had the Ismart App and voice command in Thailand, not in the UK.

James has released this recent review of his high mileage workhorse, that has now covered 120,000 miles.

So, is the suggestion then that MG have now reintroduced the sky roof back into the top spec models of the ZS EV facelift models then ?. After it announced that any new / scratch factory orders placed after June / July of last year was not likely to have the Sky roof included ?. We do already...

I was in a local dealer about two weeks ago and to my surprise, there was a ZS EV Trophy in silver in the showroom. What caught my eye, was the fact that it still had the sky roof fitted !. When I made this point to the sales person, he said he had no idea that it had been removed ( that’s about...

Traction battery degradation is going to happen regardless. But if you intend to keep your car a while and it was purchased with your own hard earned cash, then of course you want to try and help slow down that trend in any way you possibly can. However if it’s a lease car, then preserving the...

The top 3-4 energy players are offering pretty similar deals at the moment, which comes as no surprise really I guess, playing one against the other. One of these maybe slightly better to one customer more than the next of course. But taking the deal above and comparing the e.on rates to our...

All of my gardening equipment is either straight unleaded fuel or is it then mixed with a two stroke oil to run my two stroke machines. So, I always have a small quantity of fossil fuel at hand. Switching ALL of these items over to battery power units, would cost a small fortune unfortunately.

Our ZS EV LR is two years old and covered about 16,500 miles. It had its 2nd service three weeks ago. Tyre 🛞 wear was recorded as 5mm remaining on all four tyres. I expected there to be a slight variation as they have never been rotated. FWD cars tend to eat front tyres at twice the speed of the...

You can use a bit of that fossil fuel ⛽️ stuff on a soft micro fibre cloth to shift tar spatter. I have a petrol lawn mower, so always have some at hand in a plastic fuel canister.

For what it’s worth, none of the ZS EV models have the low fluid level warning either. As @Rolfe has stated, a number of the VAG models don’t have this facility, unless you choose to pay for the option on the build sheet. As MG don’t have an options list, that will be a NO then 🤣.

Are you reading the SOH yourself via a OBD reader, or is this SOH being provided by the MG dealer, may I ask ??.

Same here after second annual service !. The car was returned to the dealer, they uninstalled the info unit update and reinstalled it twice, but the warnings returned. They reset the 12 volt system and the problem was still there. MG customer services supplied them with an update / patch maybe...
