I forgot that there is no reverse camera and bits like heated seats on the Excite model. Our Exclusive model reverse camera gets obscured by dirt quite a lot and then isn't much use, maybe need to clean the car more often lol.

@Lovemyev Well what an interesting day...... First MOT, no issues noted at all, but middle rear seatbelt wouldn't lock in, I fiddled around with it and I got it latching so they re-issued a pass. Then this afternoon have been crashed into from behind at a mini-roundabout. Silver plastic panel...

Wow your mileage is so low! Out of curiosity if you don’t mind my asking, given your very low usage, what’s the reason for upgrading at a fair cost?

I was thinking along the similar lines. Although from memory I don’t think there was always another car in front of it…

I get that & agree, lifting completely off (assuming conditions allow max KERS) does cause sufficient instant deceleration to cause the brake lights to come on. This car wasn’t decelerating hardly anything/ if at all though, so they couldn’t have been lifting completely off the pedal every few...

The brake lights only come on with KERS once sufficient deceleration is achieved, not instantly. In this situation, the car was hardly decelerating - if at all; not enough for KERS to trigger the brake light. Also the brake light was literally only flashing on, every time consistently, which...

I don’t think it could’ve been that though, as it was such a regular pattern. Plus it didn’t really slow down at all much every time they flashed, under KERS the brake lights don’t come on unless enough deceleration occurs.

Booked in for a couple weeks time

Are you sure it’s the SOH at 89% and not the SOC. There’s a problem if your SOH really is that at 1yr/12k.

What is a mk4 gen3 model??

I was following a mk2 today on a 40mph road for several minutes. When there were no other cars infront (potentially activating its adaptive cruise control), it’s brake lights very briefly flashed on roughly every 5 seconds. It would've been very interesting if I’d have been able to ask them...

Hi @Lovemyev I had already booked it in for an MOT elsewhere, the dealer did call to say it needs an MOT too and said they could do it at the same time. To be honest it’ll only ever be going into an MG dealership when it is necessary to keep the warranty!

To add to this thread with more dealership service price quotes.... I need the 3rd year (which is the type A service, same as year 1) (Not low mileage). For reference I paid £79.80 at Glyn Hopkin Milton Keynes for this same service 2 years ago! Glyn Hopkin (Milton Keynes) £186 but then offered...

Thanks, I'm rarely on here nowadays to update the spreadsheet.

I've only just seen this post. I could design something if it's something a few people would be interested in. I've got the mk1 ZS, so can measure it. How would you guys like it to look?

Interesting. I guess the car bms supplied SOH figure could be “wrong” but it depends on how you measure it and calculate it, algorithms etc will differ between manufacturers. I’ve done mpkwh calculations from odb2 logged trips and they don’t match exactly what the cars trip says. The problem is...

Real SoC at “100%” is temperature etc related - plus how balanced, so that sounds reasonable. Your 149miles sounds wrong though. With trips reset, It should correlate with the SOH% and WLTP value. Maybe something to do with the older software being installed.?

I’m pretty sure that the SoC you’re talking about at 97.3% is the true SoC, there is also another PID that shows 100%. As far as the bms is concerned it tells you publicly it’s 100% charged as that is when the battery is charged as full as it will allow it. The BMS also knows the real battery...

Hi I've been off the forum for a while, but what's this about the SoC not being correctly shown in the Thai App? I recently on ZS mk1 screen grabbed my SoC on the Thai App a few miles before I got to MG where I saw the SoC on their MG laptop. App was 85.3, MG was 83.5, which seems about right...

Not that much really, will feed it back etc. I am expecting a formal apology. Won’t be getting 3.5hours of my life back unfortunately lol. It’s going to have to go back too for further investigation 😭 as non functioning rear squirter couldn’t be fixed. Found a nice surprise when got home...
