    Speed warning signs ZS EV

    Last few weeks the speed indicator sign ( white/red/ black circle) is showing spurious speeds, ie 40 on a motorway or 70 on a high street. This can last several miles. Particularly worrying when indicating 40 in a 30 zone. It seems to right itself when passing a roadside speed sign.

    Hi, Just collected my EV ES following year 2 service. Outstanding item is a replacement for above item, quote £1500!! The unit has been intermittantly alarming out since a recent bump and driving me mad. Having a quick look through the lower grill I can see the camera unit is out of alignment...

    ZS EV Resale value

    Whilst extremely pleased with my EV I was more than alarmed at the WBAC valuation recently. Purchased Nov 21 £25k, WBAC valuation £16750 Jan 23. I accept the mileage is higher than average (22k) but didn't expect such a hit. If this is peculier to EV's then deeper consideration is certainly...

    Octopus Intelligent or 'Go'

    Hi all, just coming to the end of a 5p Octopus Go deal, I was considering the Intelegent option but the more I read it appears Octopus/Ohme decide when to charge leaving you in total darkness. My concern would be the storage heater/washer/dryer/dishwasher that maybe due for a run in the off peak...

    MG ZS EV brakes

    Had the car three months now and still unsure if I have an issue with brakes, everything works fine but the noise when braking appears strange. I reminds me of older cars ( from a distant time) when discs / brake shoes needed changing, a sort of metal to metal sound. Is this peculier to electric...

    MG ZS/Ohme- wished I'known before

    Well, now 6 weeks in since arrival of MG, 7kw Ohme installed fit neat and tidy, app installed on phone, all appeared ok then I find out Ohme is not really compatable with an MG ( no API), work around is a pain especially if your mileage differs day to day, trying to input a schedule is frankly...

    Home chargers

    A month in with my new MG ZS EV, very pleased so far, through October I enjoyed the energie freebie outside my gym whilst waiting for 7kw home charger quotes. Two responded, each hovering around £1k and if I read correctly included the OZEV grant. Seems to me these companies are adding it on to...
