I've tried mine in the last hour and it does seem that if the AC is on then the active grille kicks in. I always have the hvac set to auto and therefore the AC is on. I'm glad I now know the reason so I will now only have it turned on when it's really necessary and avoid having cold air blowing...

Ah yes of course. I will check that out next time as it will be interesting to know if it is the AC.

I haven't seen any symbols. I will probably give the garage a call as it seems daft cooling an already cold battery. Not sure but it could be that.

So when I exit the car and before I lock it, there is a noise a bit like a fan and also the grille is visibly open at the front. Once locked it shuts and goes quiet.

I have noticed that after the vast majority of my drives in the MG4 Trophy no matter what distance, the active grille has activated. Even on cold days when I wouldn't expect it to do so it has come on. I generally drive it carefully so it's not due to thrashing it. Anyone else noticed it come on...

Thanks for that Biffo. That's a pity it isn't possible but I guess only a minor irritation 👍

Had my Hypervolt installed recently and I am really happy with it. A couple of things I would have liked however, is the ability to charge to a chosen percentage and to be able to see what the current percentage is whilst on charge. Maybe a future software update could be done to provide these?

Mentioned the clicking on mine at first service last week (MG Rayne). They said it's a known problem and have ordered a new steering column. I was pleasantly surprised as I expected them to say there's nothing wrong or at best tighten a bolt for a temporary fix.

Yes I noticed that as well Gomev. And to be fair they don't look tinted to me either but not to worry at least the back windows look good 😀

Had my rear windows tinted today with Global Tint. I was due to have the 2 front side windows done as well but the guy said they have a slight tint already so if I have them done there was a danger they could be over the legal limit. Decided not to risk it. It's interesting how some are happy...

Thanks for that. I did and it worked 😀👍

Global Tint are due to do all the windows on my ZS EV (not windscreen) on Sep 10 for £270. I probably should have haggled tbh as I suspect I could have got them to do it lower, however, I'm happy with that price and can't wait. Just a shame I couldn't get an earlier booking in the summer but...

Thanks Steve. I hope that when I get round to having one installed they can do something like that as it sounds like a good idea 😀👍

Interesting James. I guess there's no harm in asking around. Being a tight Yorkshireman however, the thought of having to prise open my wallet so soon after buying the car is my biggest hurdle 😂

Thanks for the quick reply Biffo. Yes I think you are probably right. I'm managing ok on the granny charger at the moment so might stick with that for now 😀👍
