Eventually MG CS will “join up the dots” and realise that they DO have an issue with a batch of T box components in these cars. Unfortunately for us owners and the dealers, they follow down the same laborious and time consuming route for all parties. Making numerous appointments to finally...

If you have a volt meter, check the voltage on the battery before booting into ready mode. The standing state should be around 12 volts ( ish ). Then with the volt meter still connected, boot up the car into ready mode. What does the volt meter say now ?. The voltage shown should have now...

There was a number of ZS EV’s that suffered from a similar problem and the fix was to replace the latching mechanisms. A close family member had the same problem on the passenger door of his new ZS EV. The dealer replaced the door lock / latching mechanism and all was good. Then only a couple...

Stouts moto - “Be Prepared” 👍🤣

Just spotted this booster / tyre inflation unit on offer. I have a similar unit myself. I would be quick before they sell out...

The problem with trying to reinforce the hinge, is the limited access to it, when it’s on the car. The back side of the the hinge is a honeycomb criss cross pattern of thin plastic. If these individual cells could make stronger, then I am sure if would be a better job. I think if I was having to...

The top of the fob has clearly released, it seems strange that you can’t get access to the blade ?. Have you tried using a pair of tweezers to grab the side of the blade ?. It maybe just a bit stuck in the fob ?.

There two types of fobs for the S5 I believe, they look very similar. If you check back through the post you can see both types. Some have the capability to store the emergency key inside the fob, while others don’t !. If both of your emergency keys where supplied outside of the fob, then there...

Omitted from the App not the info unit.

One omission that is very much missed, is the 12 volt battery status 🤷🏻.

I believe £35 was the cost of the first batch of replacement charge port doors for the Gen2 ZS EV. But as demand raised for these parts, the price raised faster than a cake 🍰 in the oven. I think they call it “Inflation”. I have another word for it, but enough said there 👎🤣.

After a bit of scratching around in the forum, I have managed to find a thread that points to the same conclusion as the fix 👍. https://www.mgevs.com/threads/mg-zs-not-recognising-my-keys.11472/

Great to know that you are all sorted !. The advice from Good Old Dad was the winner 🏆. Disconnecting one side of the 12 volt battery, wait about 10 minutes and then reconnect, is a good know “Go To” fix for a number of issues on EV’s 👍. To the point, where some owners actually carry a 10mm...

@NickHeynes You can customise a lot of the settings to suit your needs via MG Pilot as you no doubt know. If you like the MG4 you will love the S5 !. Oh…… Don’t forget ! - JUST ENJOY IT !.

Agreed - But you can’t really compare the 1st service on an EV to a service and MOT on a Focus TBF. The so called first service on an EV is merely a 10 minute “Health Check”. There are no oils / filters etc of course. Bit of screen wash maybe 🤔. But you will be changed extra for that. It is...
