Sounds like a good plan to me !. I would not think the new module would need to be coded to the car, so it should work straight out of the box 🤣. I have noticed that all of the EV techs connect a 12 volt battery maintainer first, before carrying out any diagnostics work. The 12 volt batteries...

Have you considered a breakers yard ?

If definitely a different set up that has caught a few people out, including some of the tech’s in the dealership !. We had one of the rear wheels fail to release the HB on our first ZS EV. It was a call to the MG to get the car recovered. The guy from the recovery service removed the handbrake...

I can’t speak for the whole of the MG range on offer, but the passengers seat for UK models of the ZSEV does NOT have a height adjustment and is totally manual adjustment. The drivers seat on the top spec ZS EV is fully electric and height is covered. These seats are heated also. The new MGS5...

I guessed that would be the case. MG dealers would get the work all of the time, if the price of their parts were not so overpriced. For what are not that special imho.

Ouch 😩.

Traded in our ZS EV Trophy LR for a S5 about three weeks ago. It had covered about 26,000 miles and was three and half years old. I spotted tiny cracks starting to appear in the drivers seat bolster cushion about 2 months ago. I know condition is common on the pleather seat covers, so I have...

Rotation is advised every 5,000 miles on VAG models. They do this because VAG's do have an habit of the rear tyres developing a strange swore tooth wear pattern on the tread over time, if they are left on the same axle for the entire life of the tyres. Not really ideal option though on a car...

This has happened on some ZS EV models as well !. Replacing the module was the fix I believe :(

I think even the dealers where having a similar problem after using the computer, to set the HB service mode, so I believe they have now refrained from do so. They have appeared to favour releasing the HB in the normal fashion, then disconnecting the connection plugs on both HB actuators...

This is no different to any other manufactures warranty really, as to compile with the T&C's of that warranty, the car will need to be presented for service at the laid down schedule set out by that manufacturer. Of course you can choose to disregard this advice and totally skip them, but be...

The front of the car was also damaged due to him being pushed into the Volvo in front. It was my brothers car and after ringing his insurance company to question the price of his renewal this year, they have told him that the claim had not even been settled yet after almost 6 months ...

A close relative had a low speed accident in his ZS EV LR while queuing in traffic. He was stationary, then got hit from behind by a transit. The transit could not have not have doing anymore than 20Mph at the time of impact. The impact pushed the ZS into a Volvo waiting in front of him. The...

Hi @Bantam and welcome to the forum 👍. The S5 Trophy LR higher spec models is fitted with 18” rims, I believe the models below this are fitted with 17” rims. I am currently carrying the space saver which I bought from MG and had in both of our previous two ZS EV’s. This is a 17” rim, but I am...

I have had my boot only open by about 25% and then stop, one day at the super market. It was an outside car park so no objects above or too the sides. I just went into “manual mode” and lifted it myself, as I have for the last 40+ years. This is my first experience of owning a power assisted...
