Supplementary question-1,2,or 3 for ‘de-rusting’ brakes ?

MG3+ Hybrid had annoying beeping warning at speed cameras etc, but that was sorted by switching everything to visual. Now the car speaks to me if I go over the speed limit by as little as 1mph very loudly...I assume its the sat-nav system, but how do I turn it off

Had mine done at Timpsons…. very reasonable

Thanks. Understand now

Excuse me for being dim. What does this bit of kit allow you to do that you can’t already

Sorted . Synched clock with DAB

Unsure, just noticed the time - it must have changed automatically last autumn.

MG ZS EV gen 1 - time displayed this morning showing BST ( 1 week early ). Presumably can correct via settings

Thanks, yes it has app which can control the charger. Obviously Gen 1 doesn’t link with MG app and doesn’t have the same level of managing/monitoring charge ( such as setting 80% cut off). Will get back to Octopus to pursue

Slightly confused- gen 1 2020 ZS. Last time looked on Octopus app- MG was supported, but charger isn’t , Free2Charge Wallbox. Does this mean I could use EV tariff ?

Two tips that might help - small dehumidiers in cabin to stop misting up ( taken from another post ) . Use heated seats rather than heater to preserve battery range ( from EV charging guide)

Great reply, I think I will carry on as per:- monthly granny charge and equalisation, coupled with top-ups as and when required ( instavolt app shows charging profile with 'drop-off' at approx 80% - that's my cue to stop charging ). hopefully home charging unit being installed soon - FREE2MOVE...

I agree, thread discussion threw me with % displayed comments. Given the point about previous trips affecting charging capacity, do you think it's good practice to zero the trip details prior to a "granny equalisation" charge to ensure battery gets charged to right level ?

Quick aside , how do you get % charge displayed on 2020 ZS EV all I ever see is miles

Latest update. home charger waiting to be fitted (any day now)-apparently the supplier, not the utility company, has to give you 'permission' to get it installed, plus your electrics need to be up to scratch
