    How to replace tail light cluster - MG5 SW EV LR Trophy FL

    I believe removal of the rear cluster(s) is covered in pages 214 - 215 of the owners manual. Looks pretty straight forward really, remove two retaining bolts and pull the whole cluster straight backwards, this should release the holding tab located at the front of the lamp.

    Zs EV facelift battery balancing

    This is very true. Remembering that it demands more energy from the battery to get the car initially moving from a standstill of course. Once the car is cruising at a steady state, plus combined with the temperature of the battery, the use of energy from the pack decreases. EV’s are a bit like...

    Zs EV facelift battery balancing

    Remember there are two different charging protocols, depending on if you are driving the standard range or the long range model. The standard range has no provision to reduce the charging percentage SOC lower than 100% due to the type of battery chemistry used. It will charge ( then balance ) to...

    Set ismart to charge to 80%

    Standard range models are designed to charge the traction battery 🔋 to 100% every single time you want to take on some extra range. Only the long range model offers the ability to adjust the level / percentage required. Long range owners will normally only charge to 80% giving around 200+ miles...

    Set ismart to charge to 80%

    Standard range or Long range model ?. If standard range, you are unable to set the charging level lower than 100%. Long range, yes you can. It can be set either in the head unit or the App. Different battery chemistry on each model is the reasons.

    Is the K4 pressure washer any good?

    Hi Ian - I have the K4 with water cooled motor, just bear in mind that when the winter comes, ensure you pump out any water from inside the unit, if you are storing it somewhere that is unheated. A relative had the same machine and stored it in his shed for winter after use. The following spring...

    MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

    It is very similar body / interior style to what I expected really. Shifting to the new pure EV platform, it was fairly obvious it would closely resemble a pumped up MG4. MG following in similar production direction as the Audi / VW group. I do remember viewing the VW TRoc for the first time and...

    Brake Discs

    Skimming is an option, if the rust / pitting or disc run out can be removed and the minimum manufacturers permitted tolerance, can still be achieved. I will include some images that contain the specs of the discs. There only appears to be a 2mm skimming tolerance allowance. Some companies do...

    Infotainment system stays on until car locked

    The ZS EV Gen2 is the same, it will time out and turn off after about 8 - 10 minutes if left, or instantly if you lock the doors of course. It’s an odd set up, but there you go 🤷🏻.

    Are dealer servicing charges over expensive?

    Just had the 3 year low milage health check / service done on our 2022 Trophy LR. I paid £84.00 and received ( by my request ) a two sheet copy of the MG service schedule “tick box” form. Also a similar green / amber / red tick box sheet completed for the health check report. The car was dropped...
