Okay we've had the ZS nearly 12 months, and before that we had a few leafs so I'm not new to the EV world, but we're looking for a possible second car, and a secondhand MG5 makes a lot sense, probably first generation, unless a bargain comes up. Firstly what are the weak points on the car, are...

Has anybody ordered an new car in the last few weeks, that could give me an idea of the current delivery times on a new order?

Had family over visiting recently, so we've been doing the Montana-Sofia mountain pass a couple of times, and have to say the ZS is one of the best cars I've driven on the road. (Dare say there would be better electric cars for it), over the years I've driven the road in everything from Puegoet...

Thought I'd share some figures I've worked out for equivalent MPG figures, based on local electric prices and fuel prices. Home Charging in the UK (No Cheap Night rates etc.) we are getting equivalent to 112MPG On my recent Euro Trip, Rapid Charging I got equivalent to 43MPG Here in Bulgaria...

Thought a white car might be cooler in the Bulgarian Sun, which may or may not be right. However there is another issue.......

Just Over a month ago I drove our Discovery from York, Via Hull-Rotterdam to Bulgaria, doing 1373miles at 35.8mpg, with an average diesel cost at the time of £1.70. Which I reckon cost as near as damn it £300 in fuel. Completed in 21.5hrs. Well I'm currently sat on the same ferry, having...

I was looking for a sticker to protect the top of the bumper from scuffs, something plain black, without logos, all the ones I've found so far have logos on that would look stupid half covered by the boot lid, and I'm trying my best to avoid fake tacky carbon fibre as well :LOL: However I did...

As the HS has now been traded for a ZS :) Anybody interest in a full set of mats, a boot liner, and Mud Flaps. They have been in the vehicle for approx 9 months, few marks on drivers mat, others are pretty much mint. Boot pretty much only carried a couple of bags from Aldi and the charging...

Has anyone considered what could be modded to improve the efficiency on the ZS? Some things have been discussed before like tyre pressure, but what about changing the aerial, different body mouldings? tinting glass, to improve summer AC usage, or even replace the wing mirrors with cameras etc...

Does anyone know if the ZS is sold with a Power Tailgate in any regions? Or is purely an aftermarket option? Thanks

Has anyone successfully removed the front badge, I'm guessing that it's clipped or screwed on from behind, but only guessing. I've not got round to removing the plastic slam panel to have a look yet, I fear it might be crammed with gubbins making it impossible to access. Then is it possible to...

Given the discussion about the use of KERS when using Adaptive Cruise Control, can anybody confirm if MG4 uses KERS when using adaptive cruise control??

As the HS is getting traded for a ZS :-) Anybody interest in a full set of mats, a boot liner, and Mud Flaps. They have been in the vehicle for approx 9 months, few marks on drivers mat, others are pretty much mint. Boot pretty much only carried a couple of bags from Aldi and the charging...

Can anyone confirm the differences between the Trophy and Trophy Connect Models, online everyone mentions Amazon Music, but surely there has to be more to it than that.

Last year I bought the HS PHEV because several times a year we drive 1400 miles across Europe, but really I wanted a ZS EV, since then of course the Long Range has been launched. Which makes driving to Bulgaria "Technically" possible. Has anyone any experience of driving in Europe, is it all...

Has anyone spent any time within earshot of their HS while it is plugged in and charged. Me and the missus have recently had quite a nasty cough, so for the last week or so one of us has been sleeping in the spare room, which is directly above the charger, we both sleep with the window cracked...

Obviously as soon as you put the car in park, the handbrake applies, does anybody know if it's possible to park the car in park, but with the handbrake off. I normally do this, if parking up for more than a week or two, but I haven't yet found how to do it in the HS. Anybody any ideas?

Okay, as suggested in another thread, I've been playing with an AutoPi trying to log some useful data, first off here's a screen shot of some data, minus the map of where I am. The bms_status_value helps to decide what the car is doing i.e. idle/driving/charging etc. next is state of charge...

I'm trying to connect to my MG HS PHEV with an AutoPi, but at the moment I'm not having much look. Does anyone know what the required canbus protocol is?

Has anyone noticed that when you use ACC, you don't get any negative values on the power meter, I can't say for sure, but that implies that it is not using the KERS for regen. However going down a hill, or when someone pulls into the space, you can feel it pull back, but still no negative power...
