    MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

    I have seen a 74 plate MG ZS with a “Hybrid” badge on the back. Could this be what they are replacing the all-electric ZS with? Mood around EVs seems to favour hybrids to combat the range anxiety.

    Airbag warnings that disappear after 10 mins

    I had the same airbag warning light. Mine was red. I found this thread and was so pleased to see the thing about the yellow connector under the seat. Mine was not down to a loose connection. This is what happens when you leave a cockapoo puppy in the front footwell. Never again.

    spring is broken

    I had a broken spring within 12 months on mine. Same pothole cause. Dealer fixed it under warranty. Said it shouldn’t have broken so soon.

    Gear reduction box

    I’ve just had this experience in real life. My ZS LR SE from Nov 22 is in for service today with 45k miles on it. Garage wanted to change the transmission oil as it is due at 4 year service. I queried because car is clearly NOT 4 years old and also I didn’t think it has a transmission as such...

    MG ZS 40 000 Mile update

    My Gen 2 ZS LR SE is at 40k miles now. Got it in Nov 22. It seems to be wearing the miles very well. I put protective front seat covers on it for the early years to protect from dog and general wear. Took them off now. It looks good as new. I’m a happy bunny. Mostly charging at home though. So...

    How many miles per kWh can you get?

    Now it’s a bit warmer I am getting much better range. MG ZS EV LR SE. Nov 2022. Didn’t have aircon turned on. Was doing mostly 20mph as it’s the Welsh speed limit. Can anyone beat this?

    In Praise of the ZS

    It’s just missed a beat. Charged to 93% with the promise of 203 miles. Drove 3hours and 180 miles and that was too much for the battery. Even though I was showing a surplus of 40 miles of theoretical range over remaining distance, it all went Pete Tong as it got to 10% battery remaining. Car...

    In Praise of the ZS

    Basically everything you have said. 34k miles in mine. It. Just. Works. Some bits are a little low-rent but it was a cheap car. Biggest gripe is lack of interior passenger lights in the back.

    Not charging on home Wallbox

    What colour lights does the Wallbox show? There is an odd red/yellow one that is when there is an error. I found the number for the support line in the paperwork. It’s in Spain but they could diagnose the fault remotely. I got a brand new Wallbox swapped in by my original installers.

    New (to be) owner

    I am paying £376 for 20k per year over 4 years. That was from Nov 2022 and is not salary sacrifice. Seems the lease companies are fleecing the employer if the net rates you pay are close to what external lease costs are.

    Pics of other cars you've had.?

    Here’s one of mine. Mitsubishi Evo 6 Tommi Makinen Edition. Shiny on top. Crumbly underneath. Currently in pieces waiting for funding to finish rebuilding.

    Apple CarPlay connection issues

    I bought a 30cm connector wire from Amazon and that seems to have given me a consistent connection.

    iSmart 2.x merged; please use for all iSmart 2.x issues

    With the new app I found that when it reset my login details it also resets your charging target to 80% health mode. But the killer is that the “scheduled charging” was also switched on. I never use that because it overrides the scheduling by Octopus Intelligent. Was trying to recharge from...

    Apple CarPlay connection issues

    Just adding my experience. My iPhone 14 no longer boots up CarPlay on connection to my MG ZS LR. It worked faultlessly for months before. Have tried a range of new cables and all the points listed above. My wife has IPhone SE and CarPlay works like a dream for her and for my kids who also have...
