    Cold starting

    First gen ZS EV. What is the lowest temperature my car might struggle to start or work properly? Can I plug it in to my Ohme wall charger to precondition it to warm the battery up? No iSmart app is available.

    Insurance quote: "Is your car fitted with a tracker?"

    Would an Apple airtag count as a tracker if it was hidden somewhere in the car?

    Help in fog

    I am a bit confused by the above two answers about this little switch on the headlamp stalk. My headlights automatically come on when it is dark. No problem. I just want to stop them automatically flipping up to high beam when it is foggy so I do not get the glare of back reflection. Thanks.

    Help in fog

    Hi, Had to drive home in the dark countryside last night in thick fog. My headlamps automatically turn main beam on and off when it senses oncoming cars or streetlights. However, main beam in fog can reflect the light back to me. Is there an on/off setting for this for when it is dark and foggy...

    Some interesting comments on Nanny software in cars in general

    When on the motorway I use ‘no-pedal’ driving. I just set the ACC to say 70mph and then just change lanes as necessary. My MG ZS EV just slows down for moderate or severe congestion. It has gone all the way down to 10mph and then back up to 70mph when the congestion cleared. When the limit drops...

    Any way to stop ZS EV resetting everything

    ZS EV is a budget car but I think represents excellent value for money. I bought a Gen 1, 25000 miles, for £15,000. I set the ACC to the speed limit and just let the car do all the speeding up and slowing down. Apart from in the centre of a town or city, or a traffic jam, I rarely touch the...

    How much do you spend on charging?

    2p per mile at home with Octopus Intelligent Go. Offset slightly by washing machine and dishwasher now only on during cheap overnight electricity.

    MG ZS EV MK1 and Ohme ePod

    I have a 2020 ZS Exclusive on an Ohme ePod with Intelligent Octopus Go. I have 1 schedule set - 99% by 8am. It all works fine. Yesterday I plugged in the charger at 4.30pm, and it started charging immediately. This morning I saw that I had been charged at the 7.5p rate from 4.30pm until 9.00am...

    Error messages vanish too quickly

    Hi, Occasional warning message pops up on screen, but disappears after a fraction of a second so I cannot read it all. Is there a display time adjustment possible? Also, is there a night colour available for the 3 panel infotainment screen? It is very bright and I am sure it reduces my night...

    Better headlights

    So can I get a brighter bulb in Halfords to replace the yellow, dim (compared to LEDs) headlamp bulb for ZS EV Gen 1?

    So, is this 'Hardware Module' available as a retrofit to enable iSmart on a 2021 ZS?

    iPhone wireless charger wanted

    I have a 2021 model, so phone connects via lightning cable. Is there a cheap wireless charger available, so that my iPhone 8+ could just sit in that tray in front of the gear knob? Would it still talk to Car Play without the cable?
