“Reset the overall consumption”? I haven’t reset anything but I did have it in the garage to check an issue with the granny charger not working. After they had had it, the first charge I did showed the 3 hours of 0.33kWh - presumably balancing. I know they reset several parameters then...

Charged my 2020 ZS Exclusive at home (7kWh) from about 90 mile range. As expected, took 3 hours then went on for 2 hours at nominal charge (0.33 kWh), then 1 hour at 0.04 kWh. When I started the car this morning, it showed 199 miles range. It has always been 168, it’s published maximum. Parked...

Similar issue. However, my 2020 Exclusive used to charge to 100% then stop. (I have a QUBEV smart charger). The other day I tried the granny charger out. It didn’t work. Took it to my garage yesterday. They couldn’t fix it. AND the tech told me it wasn’t charging on their charger either...

Thank you. Exactly where it was.

Been following this and I think a paintnuts pen might solve my scratch across the central sensor on the rear bumper. (It still works.) However the order form is asking for my Paint Code. It’s recognised my car from the reg, but where do find my paint code?

Thank you. Lots of valuable info here. All in all, my stupidity has taught me much.

MG Assist was brilliant. They arrived a hour or so after my first call. The guy did checks but couldn’t get the granny charger working. In the end, he chanced it and drove the car off the driveway, turned it round and got it up facing the right way before it died - just. It is now charged and...

I have just discovered that I have something called MG Assist. Phoned them and they say they are sending someone around. Funny. I’ve spent the whole day talking to my garage and on here and in my last call to the garage they mentioned MG Assist. I can only conclude that everyone assumed I knew...

Thank you. So, I charged the 12v battery with the negative terminal decoupled. The granny charger was not plugged in at the charging port. After reconnecting the negative terminal, I checked the instrument cluster. The 12v battery is now showing 14+v on the dash. I reconnected the granny...

No, I don’t think so. I’ve never seen such an option. This is a 2020 version. Anyway, I have a Rolec QUBEV smart home charger which can be scheduled, though I usually just use the app. 2 hours later: 12v battery on charger for two hours. Sparks when reconnecting neg terminal, so charge is...

I’ve connected it and waiting. Seems odd though: the car unlocks and displays the ‘not charging’ message.

Neither. The granny charger isn’t charging and my drive is on a slope with the car reversed in. Thanks. I’ll try this. I have a 5000A battery pack that I’ll connect.

As befits a novice ev driver, I ran my drive (hv) battery down on a drive to Gatwick airport (Ok, Waze may have helped). Got car returned to home in flatbed but can’t reach my home charger with cable. Should I expect any problem recharging with the granny charger? 2020 ZS ev. Sorry about...

Solved. Saw a post that suggested this solution. (Don’t remember where it is.) When in radio, select the option with the T (for programme titling.) On the left of that screen, select the lower of the two icons. It has horizontal lines ending in blocks. Return to radio screen. On my ZS, all the...

There are settings in the satnav system to fiddle with, as well as in the safety settings. I had the same problem and switched everything off. Still had the problem. Then I noticed that the beeping happened when the blue warning line in the lane assist system stayed on for ‘too’ long: ie I was...
