I have a 2020 ZS that I have only driven 7300 miles in and the front drivers seat too showed signs of cracking in the material on both the back and seat bolsters. I mentioned this to my MG Dealer in Burnley and they fobbed it off as just a crease in the upholstery where I had been sitting, but...

I took my ZSEV into Chorley Motors in Burnley for its third service and first MOT last September. I pay a monthly Service Contract of almost £16.00 but brakes etc are not covered. They told me it needed complete rear discs, even though the car at that time had only done 6,500 miles. The cost of...

When I first visited my dealer showroom back in 2020, I looked at the HS and the ZS EV, I preferred the HS because of its size being larger than the ZS but they didn’t off an all electric version so I bought the ZS EV exclusive and have to say I have loved it from day one. I heard a rumour...

That's great Martin, the Zappi was my favourite choice, but for me I cannot have solar panels so opted for the OHME Home Pro instead which has now arrived, so will be looking to install shortly. Andy (Blackpool)

I am just about to install an OHME Home Pro to replace my ageing ROLEC Dumb Charger. Things have changed over the past years and charging has become more intelligent to say the least. The two top brands in my opinion are the OHME and the Zappi, but if you don't have or are intending to have...

Looks like my partner Ash beat me to it! We managed to resolve the App problem by contacting MG Customer Services UK and they asked us last Friday to email them the following information: Name & Address VIN Number of the car Copy of the V5 document. MG Customer Services said they would try and...

You are NOT alone with this app problem and the MG support is appauling. We took delivery of the X Power just 2 weeks ago now and the app worked just fine at first until it suddenly said "The Service Is Not Available please try again later" on the iPhone. Even though my details are on the car...

Hi Tosh, No I don't have solar panels or any plans for them right now. I have been on Octopus GO for a couple of years but it has been hit and miss with regards to half hour readings through my SMETS 2 Meter and more recently, they have lost all communication with it except for GAS. An engineer...

I have a 4 year old ROLEC Dumb Charger, that works just fine to charge my ZS EV Mk1 which I still have, but we have just taken delivery on a new MG4 X Power which unless you set the charger to come on first, then the Car to come on second, the box keep going on and off every 30 seconds or so...

Interesting, you don’t have the choice of adaptive braking on the ZS EV mk1, only Kers 1, 2 or 3. We have just taken delivery of an X Power last week so it will be interesting to see how it performs against the ZS EV mk1, but again we run the first part of the journey in REGEN 1 then adaptive...

I have just had my ZSEV Mk1 third service and was told the rear brake disc hubs needed changing due to corrosion, which was NOT a warranty claim, even though my car had only done 5,800 miles from new and the bill came to just over £400 which I was not expecting. After research both on here and...

Interestingly enough, SMART Meters north of Manchester right up to the tip of Scotland don't use Cellular communication at all, they are on what they call "Long Reach Radio" but that too is hit and miss, Octopus struggles to communicate with my meter and I am on GO, so more often than not I am...

Thanks for the replies and advice. I have now adopted a new way of driving to prevent premature corrosion in future. Firstly, I now start any journey on REGEN 1 rather than running all the time on REGEN 3. Secondly, I try to use the Automatic Cruise Control (ACC) or MG Pilot more even when...

Hi, I have owned my MG ZS EV since September 2020 (70 Plate) and its time to renew the insurance once again. This year it seems too have rocketed by almost £200 since last year despite no claims, 12 year + NC Discount, clean license, being 66 years of age and a low mileage off less than 2,000 a...

Yes you are probably right, the garage told me something similar as it could have been down to the low mileage. So to exercise the breaking more, would it be better to reduce the severity of the regen braking to lower level i.e. 1 or 2 and use the pedal more? Andy

Just had my ZS EV turn 3 years old (70 plate) with only 6317 miles on the clock and today I took it into my dealer in Burnley for its 3rd service and First MOT. After leaving the car for an hour, I received a phone call from the dealer saying the mechanic says the back brake hubs are badly...

When you live by the sea, I also have a problem with my camera disabled!

Hi Katherine, From the Main screen where it shows the Car Range and Total Mileage from new of the car at the bottom and the Large Speedo Digits at the top (see photos) you then use the Upward Arrow which is located on the right side of the steering wheel face (see photo) to move onto the next...

Hi Ariel, The sensitivity was the first thing I checked under "Forward Collision Settings" there are three settings now showing LOW/NORMAL/HIGH, mine is currently set to NORMAL Andy
