Have MG been providing you with a replacement car while waiting ?.

You are correct, the battery balance cycle commences at 100% SOC ( if it requires it ) but the reduction in current being supplied to the car from the wall box, should be noticeable on your energy meter just before it hits 100%. I have personally witnessed this on my own monitor when we had our...

If you have a home energy monitor, you maybe able to catch it on that. When the car is charging, your monitor will be showing around 7 kw’s ( but remember to add for any other electrical devices that could be consuming juice at the same time ). When it is reaching is reaching full, the charge...

The buggers will get us someway !

Are you wearing either tinted or sun glasses when driving ?. If so, it could well be this.

Don’t worry about the life span of brake pads on an EV as they are likely to out last the car. It’s the LACK of use of the footbrake that is likely to cause premature replacement of both pads and discs due to corrosion build up eating away at the surface of the disc. In this case, more is better...

That was probably the tip point for making a move on the EV owners. Get enough bought in on it first, then strike.

It’s like fishing 🎣 in a bucket 🪣!. Hitting the motorist is very easy pickings.

Introducing this crazy hare brained idea will not go down well with the motor trade either I don’t think. EV’s cost more than there ICE counterparts and therefore it can be a difficult financial decision for people to make the switch, well this has made that decision a lot easier for many. A...

That’s a shame, will they not buff out Steve?. Well at least you can hang it and get it painted on the car then.

Shame it’s the wrong shade of blue. Having it painted first I guess 🤷🏻. With two people lifting, once you get a couple nuts in place to secure it, then snap the struts in place then your pretty much sorted after a bit of fiddling with the alignment, but there will be witness marks on the shell...

Ouch 😩 !. E.bay item in colour as well Steve ?. Any photos provided by the seller ?.

@Steve1975 You don’t say why you are considering replacing the hatch ?. I can only assume it had become damaged in some way ?. If so, then sourcing a replacement panel in the correct colour is a great idea. It has to be a “bolt of bolt on” item surely ?. Two person job for sure, given the weight...

There is one advantage of using the lower strength regen mode on the ZS EV and the other models at least !. It helps reduce the rust building up on the brake discs, especially the rears !. There are multiple posts covering the premature replacement of these items at a dealer costs of around...

When you say “normal” ZS - I presume you mean the ICE version ?. Well, its the same bodyshell mainly, so you would expect it to be the same then 🤷🏻. Call your local dealer and ask them is the actual hatch, is the same part number for both EV and ICE.
