250 to 500 mA is far too high! Modern cars should draw a maximum of 70 mA when idle. There were models where the speedometer display didn’t switch off properly. In the dark, you could see it glowing faintly. Mine had a problem with the rain and light sensor in December; it got so hot that it...

@davewins , Unfortunately, that’s not quite right. The fuse box in the engine compartment doesn’t have a socket. There’s a metal strip under the fuse box cover for a positive terminal. Unfortunately, the cover can’t be removed, and that’s not because of the plastic cover but because of the...

The roads I drive on every day are gritted with plain salt. But you’re right, some motorways are gritted with a salt solution mixed with cucumber water (yes, cucumber water). I don’t drive on the motorway, though. Of course, salt isn’t exactly good for the car. That’s why I regularly wash the...

I went to the garage yesterday and showed the mechanic the photos; he didn’t even look at the car itself. He said there was nothing that could be done and that it wasn’t really that bad. I then asked him to show me a car in his yard where the exhaust was so rusted after 10 months. We then looked...

@vimes , No, when I write 5 kW, I mean that 😉. My charger allows for three different settings: 16, 24 and 32 A 🥳

I will send the pictures to MG Germany and ask for a statement. However, I have little hope that anything useful will come of it. As with my previous emails. The only response I ever received was that I should contact the dealer. But the dealer couldn't do much about the previous problems...

I still have a 1990 Polo 86c, the catalytic converter still looks like new and I had to replace the centre silencer for the first time in 20 years. But not because it was rusted, but because it was cracked. It was made of stainless steel at the factory. What really worries me is the catalytic...

This is what an HS registered in May 2025 looks like after 9,000 km. I'd rather not comment...

I know that, that's where I got the software from 😉. I'm interested in the software that is installed via USB, because I don't have a ZS or MG4, but an HS Phev 🙈. I thought you could also get it via SIPS. And yes, I know this isn't an HS forum, but there's still a lot of good information here...

As I said, I did the entire download via SIPS and only got the ones with the extensions I mentioned earlier. Where can you get the files that need to be loaded via USB?

Where did you get the ‘.1’ from? I just did a complete download with SIPS and it downloaded around 920 GB! But there is no ‘.1’ file. There are only ‘.51’ to ‘.58’ files and one ‘.A2’ file. The complete download directory has 1419 files.

To prevent the battery from discharging through the dashcam, you need a hardwire connection cable. This is a small box that is connected to the continuous positive and ignition pulse. You can use the box to set how far the voltage is allowed to drop. If the voltage falls below the set value, the...

The app's display is not particularly accurate. As soon as you query the car via the app, the voltage drops slightly. Some control units are activated and even the interior lighting comes on. That's why the app shows you the low voltage. I installed a battery monitor that transmits the voltage...

Ah, OK. If you already have the new model, it will most likely have already received some improvements that we still have to wait for with the first model. I find the "personalised MG Pilot" very practical in the new models. That should have been in the software from the start! Not just for the...

I don't doubt that either. As I already wrote, and as you can read, it's the same for many others. It's also important to remember that some vehicles have different software versions. You may have a different one than I do, which explains the differences. People often refer to the Rxx version...
