    New owner, wheel noise when first setting off

    When you take your foot off the accelerator, and you feel the pull of the motor slowing you down, without using the brake, that's the regeneration in operation and using the energy already generated to recharge the battery. Most noticed in "eco" mode.

    New owner, wheel noise when first setting off

    Sorry, my apologies, forgot to mention it's caused by lack of braking, due to regenerative braking, as you say.

    New owner, wheel noise when first setting off

    Hi, it's very unusual, but seems quite normal on these vehicles. Mine clears after 3 - 4 yards, worse in reverse. If it becomes a constant grating noise, then it would be a worry.

    New owner, wheel noise when first setting off

    Is it just first drive in the morning? If so, probably just rust/dirt/dust that develops on the discs, normally cleans itself off within a few yards. Quite normal on a hybrid. Very similar to parking an ICE vehicle for a few weeks, and the discs rust and stick.

    Although you can't transfer and update, have you actually found any files online to update the nav system? If so, where from?

    MG3 Hybrid fuel cap is very difficult to open

    Wow! You're lucky, no such thing in the ZS hybrid, just have to let it dangle on the connected tag

    Material quality of MG

    No stainless steel, probably another cost cutting measure at MG design.

    Tip for fuel cap difficulty opening.

    Is anyone having trouble opening the fuel cap on ZS hybrid? I have put a tiny smear of vaseline around the outer most edge of the cap rim, not anywhere near where it can enter the tank. It has made an amazing difference, doesn't take so much effort to open now. If/when this wears off, I will...
