They are my "local" dealer but only use them when anything can't be done by local garage. The online booking system doesn't allow for any interaction, either regarding technical matters or booking time. The service reception staff are pleasant enough though.

Update on my problem with multiple warning lights and bongs. My local garage checked the 12V battery and found it was fine. They also volunteered to check the diagnostics and found that all the warnings related to the radar at the front. This itself said it needed realigning/recalibrating. They...

Just an additional point- the service record is held on the MG computer system. Independent garages can't log their service work, so "full service history" can't be demonstrated.

Thanks, I'll follow that up.

I have a similar problem, so will try replacing the 12V battery. Can I get my local garage to supply and fit a good quality battery, or does it have to be the MG dealer?

Thanks for that tip. I tried the tape but it made the car tell me that the boot wasn't closed. I then removed the tape and found the rattle was cured!

Well done! This is very useful information, which I have printed off, for whenever I might sell my car.

I bought a similar car and was surprised to find that the only true service history lives in the MG UK computer system. If you were able to get an MG dealer to look up this car, it might clarify things.

Thanks, I can work with that.

I have read a lot of the discussions about estimated range and would like to know what is the state of charge when I am driving along. The only time that I see it stated is when charging, eg 75%. Is there a direct correlation with battery voltage? The car is a 2020 ZS ev (second hand).

OK thanks, I'll just have to watch the video multiple times.

Thanks Steve, that's what I have been looking for. Of course it is for the 2022 model but I'm sure it will have a lot in common with my 2020 car.

Thanks TassieDi, I'll just have to learn by trial and error.

Sorry Gus but I can't see what I should be looking at. Was there an attachment of some kind?

Thanks, he is obviously more familiar with 21st century technology than I am but I think everything I need to know is covered, if fleetingly. I don't know how I can look at a screen whilst driving but presumably all cars are like this now. So, I take that there is no written version of...
