    MG ZS EV - which charger?

    I have a ZS LR, Ohme home pro and use Octopus Go. When I got this set up over 1 year ago the Ohme couldn't shake habds with the MG. It's not been a problem as I just use the car to schedule charging. No ohme/go bells and whistles possible but it works fine. Its worth having an Octopus Electric...

    Sandicliffe MG Loughborough - MG Dealer Discussion, Opinions & Experiences

    When I was shopping round for a first service on my ZS 2 Sandicliffe in Nottingham quoted me £129 MORE than the dealer I chose in Stockport - RRG - and that included an excellent friendly receptionist and first class coffee (plus another teddy and AA for the year) - £39. How much did your...

    Set to automatically charge when connected to power

    I have my charger set to deliver power all the time. I use the schedule charge function on the car to control when it takes power and set the desired charge level. I'm on intelligent octopus so I'm set to charge between 11.30 pm and 5.30 am. The only thing to remember is to cancel scheduled...

    2022 ZS ev range

    MG recommend you do not charge above 80% other than for long journeys or if you are balancing the battery. The battery chemistry of the ZS LR is such that the battery life will be reduced by frequent charging over 80%.

    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    Driving a ZS Trophy LR I've had the same error at Birchanger services. Before and after a Gridserve system reset of the charger. My car seemed to make the charger fall over. Other makes and a Mk1 ZS charged successfully from that charger, before and after. (I was there a long time). Eventually I...

    Planning my first proper trip

    My top tip is to charge for the return journey before you arrive at your destination. That will allow you to be totally chilled with the inlaws and you can be relaxed on the drive home too.

    [Car finally rejected] Recalcitrant Dealer

    I dont think the sales team are fine. They will say whatever they need to to sell you a car but then do not honour promises. From my point of view they still owe me £350 which was their share of the £800 they stiffed me for. Do not expect fair play. They should be advocating on your behalf.I...

    Where did the towbar go?

    I didn't do it myself. I did take some photos I will share if you send me a pm. There were no technical challenges I couldn't have achieved EXCEPT the confidence with which the fitter took apart the trim of my new car would have been well beyond me. Having seen the fitter at work I consider it...

    Faults after jump starting MG ZS EV

    When my ZS TC expired at a rogue charger the last throw of the dice for the 12v was a display of flashing lights. I thought the car might explode! The garage cleared the fault codes and said the 12v battery had run down to 3v. They recharged the battery and it is still going strong 6 months...

    Frunk fitted to 2022 MG ZS EV LR

    I got the frunk for my ZS from Lidl. It had previosly served as a vegetable box. My intention was to use it to help me size a frunk I planned to make..... But.....when offered up the vegetable box did the job of a frunk just fine. I held it in place with a bungee. Granted it would win a...

    2nd service

    Just a quick word on my first service at RRG, Stockport. I crossed the Pennines from Nottingham. It wasn't the romantic autumnal journey across the moors I had hoped for as it rained heavily with flooding on some roads. Happily in the ZS it is easy enough to relax into your place in the traffic...

    2nd service

    On your ring round try RRG in Stockport. £34 for a first service including AA renewed. I'm not sure MG dealers have a 'going rate'.
