    Car Wash

    We have taken ours through loads of times. Remember to turn auto hold off and just put it in neutral like any auto and you’ll be fine. I dont fold the mirrors as I want them cleaned too. Never had any issues. The back doesn’t always get fully clean though due to the shape 👎

    ZS MK1 Range and your experience?

    Our mk1 interior is very hard wearing. Survived a toddler and all the stickiness and is wipe clean. Exclusive trim. Takes 17 hours on the granny from 21 miles range which is as low as we allow ours to go. Range in winter dropped by “about” 40 miles. Key with long journeys is no more than 60mph...

    To AC or not to AC…

    I assume the mk2 is the same as the mk1. Here’s what I do. I only use the fans a/c if stationary in traffic. Once I’m moving I ensure the vents are set to face level, switch off and ensure the recirculate is off. You still get fresh air coming through the vents. Unless its really warm then I say...

    Autohold function

    Just remember using auto hold keeps the brake lights illuminated till you move off. Bit of a pest at night to the driver behind. Suppose it uses more electrics too in that regard. But I always use auto hold unless for extended periods and it’s never caused any noticeable difference to battery...

    Can you set a different brightness for Dark Theme (Night) and light theme (Day)

    If mine is in auto I can’t change the brightness. It defaults to blinding light. Has to be one theme or the other and manually adjusted

    Air Con cutting out on Cold Air setting

    Nope ice cold air no matter what setting. Is it hissing? That’s usually a sign the gas is low. Back to dealer I would suggest.

    What are peoples experiences when using a granny charger?

    It will be because you are using an extension lead (from my experience) mine charges fine charger plugged in to the socket in the garage. The rare times I’ve tried to use an extension to save swapping cars on drive it cuts out after varying short time periods. I’m 99% sure our user manual...

    Decrease in range Zs trophy connect long range ?

    I have the 1st gen ZS. The miles displayed varies like the changing of the winds. You can do a journey park up for a few mins get back in and its shows 20 miles less than before. Stop again and it jumps back up. Temperature and driving style plays a big part. Overall guesstimated figure Still...

    Infotainment issues seem to have been sorted.

    Hi folks. So our ZS mk1 (ev) was in for its steering rack replacement yesterday. Whilst in I mentioned the infotainment system freezing, buttons on the wheel freezing, getting stuck on one volume or station, Apple play not loading or going blank. I’m sure most have had these issues. Just had...

    Stuck on one radio station

    My infotainment constantly froze mk1. Hold circular silver button in till u get the mg logo. Just had a “dealer reset” today (blatantly a software update) which has made the system far better. Maybe worth a trip to dealers.

    MG ZS Steering Fault - clicking when turning

    So emailed arnold shark MG after 6 months to be told my data had been lost in their cyber attack in December. Cc’d the branch manager and miraculously my steering rack “arrived” the very next morning. its all been fixed and the infotainment also updated. Will post about that elsewhere. Worth...

    anti collision emergency braking

    Think it will have happened to every driver of most modern vehicles in the circumstances you describe but MG seems to be horridly sensitive. Puts the fear of a higher power up you 😆 You can lower the sensitivity of the system in settings as it defaults too high. But it resets with every on/off...

    ZS EV Exclusive (gen 1) - is a reversing camera or light upgrade possible?

    It may help you to upgrade your number plate bulbs to led too. Makes a massive difference to what you can see on the ground in my other car albeit quite close but may assist your situ 👍
