Ampera's all did it. Lots got replaced under warranty but the replacements all did it too. A few owners found drilling small holes in the bottom allowed the condensation to vent but I never bothered with mine and it never became a real problem.

Completely agree. Surprising, and I would argue negligent on their part. If the absence of rubber bungs is cause to refuse a warranty claim their absence should absolutely have been picked up and noted (with a quote to replace) in a service.

Just trying to be helpful & friendly. Sad that you felt the need to take offence. Hey ho.

Plan a 20 minute coffee & charge stop each way (plus a full charge at your destination) and it will do a 200 mile each way trip comfortably, all year, all conditions, with minimal anxiety. Badge snobbery and ZS Vs Niro...? That's more subjective and entirely your call. Either one should be fine.

Yes, but you don't really need our permission! Remember to remove the aerial and you should be fine.

It's a feature rather than a flaw! Turn the car off then flick the wiper stalk down once and the wipers will move to a vertical position allowing them to be lifted. My old Volt had the same "feature".

Finally had occasion to use the MG supplied AC charge cable at the weekend - parking in Windsor for 6 hours so decided to use the BLink charge point. Downloaded the app, gave it all the details, could not get the charger to connect to the car. Phoned the helpline, they reset the charger, talked...

In aerospace, spares markup on out of production parts is often x5 - x10. I would be surprised if automotive is any different.

It does start off a bit fierce but if you stick with it it does seem to settle down after a couple of minutes.

There are two really good charge stations within 1/2 mile of M4 J17. We don't bother with Leigh Delamere any more.

Yes, it's supposed to do that. Personally, I would only use ACC on the motorway.

I find rain makes as much, if not more of a difference than temperature. Increased rolling resistance, increased demisting, and the energy used to pick up and throw aside literally tonnes of water from the road over the course of a long journey. In my old Volt I used all the available battery...

A granny charger comes with the car as standard. If it's a Motability car I understand they were also supplied with a type 2 cable as part of the package. Otherwise the type 2 cable is an optional extra. Some dealers provide one for free, some don't. You should ask the lease company for...

Thanks for the suggestions. Definitely not #1. That was the first thing I checked. Possibly #2 at one end or the other, but neither felt like there was movement when I checked. It was back to charging as expected last night so I will just need to wait & see if it happens again in the future.

EG Group to acquire Tesla’s ultra-fast chargers to accelerate the rollout of evpoint charging network across the UK & Europe Not sure it makes any difference to anything, but it emphasizes the point that MG is responsible to ensure our cars are compatible with these chargers.

Prior to COVID mine was used daily, albeit at 3.3kW. Since then it has been less frequent, but at the full rated 7ish kW since I replaced my Volt with the ZS 12 months ago.

Short answer: no. I have had two installed in different houses, one since 2015, one since 2017, both without problems.

It's an older dumb Rolex. No scheduling clashes. Usual Octopus 00:30 - 04:30. It has always worked before, hopefully this is a one off.

Short journeys will always be less efficient when the outside temperature drops as a disproportionate amount of the energy the car consumes will go into heating the battery and interior. Your wife is right (aren't they always!), unless you are relying on getting max range for your journey it's a...

Got home yesterday on 13%, plugged in as normal, this morning still on 13%. Scheduled charging is on, no RCD's or anything have tripped and the plug is all the way in. Hit "start charging" in the app just now and it is charging fine, albeit on expensive electrons.... Any ideas why it might have...
