    45k mile service timescale?

    Per title- Moby is due his 3rd service in June & have booked him in as a “while you wait”. Does anyone have any experience on how long it takes- not sure if sitting in the dealer is a good use of my time, but dont want to get a call an hour after I’ve dropped him off & I’m miles away.

    Charge not initiating- any ideas?

    Trip to the midlands & back- tried an AC charger at the destination, didnt work- put it down to a random niggle. Tried it on a CCS charger five minutes from home, same problem. Have whipped out my trusty 10mm & disconnected the battery, anyone got any bright ideas?

    Extended Range ZS?

    Just seen the MG4 extended range, whilst its a bit premature to think of a Moby replacement it did get me thinking: do we think that MG will do a ZS with an even bigger battery or will we have to wait until the MK3 comes out?

    ZS Software update outside of service schedule?

    Evening all, after the saga of getting Moby serviced I wasn’t as on the ball as much as I should have been and the updates weren’t done as part of the 15k mile service at Aylesbury MG. Has anyone got any experience of having the updates done outside of the service schedule & what the number...

    ICEd EV Chargers in Bletchley, feedback from the Parking Team

    This one is a bit unusual, context is that I’d written a polite snottagram about the fast charge bays in Bletchley (by the Burger King) being almost constantly ICEd. Reply from the parking people is as follows: “ The Electric Vehicle chargers in the Bletchley car park were installed to future...

    Service Woes

    Prebooked Moby’s first service a month ago via my leasing firm for today. Had email & text confirmation and a reminder yesterday. Arrive at the nominated shop: “sorry sir, there’s no record of your booking, oh BTW we aren’t working for Alphabet in the future”. 🤬 Call Alphabet, they have no...

    Moby Dick & his bruised bum

    Rugby Services on the M6, some silly old <bleep> in a week old Leaf decided it was a good idea to go the wrong way down the road to nip into a vacant charging space just as I was reversing. It was only a love tap, nobody was hurt, I have protected no claims & its only money but even so, 🤬...

    “Battery Pack Heating System Failure” on iSmart, should I be worried?

    Just tried to start the battery heater remotely and got the above message & am mildly confused/concerned. SOC is 80% and currently not on charge (but was on charge overnight). Is this a genuine error- no faults shown on vehicle status- or should I be ringing MG up?

    Cold Weather Driving- what range anxiety?

    First big trip when its been properly cold and its….. pleasant. Left MK after a full balance charge, rancid traffic getting out of MK & on the M1 & M6 and am now at Market Drayton en route to Wrexham. ACC/Traffic Assist for most of the trip until I got off the M54, stats before I plugged in...

    MG ZS EV Intelligent Speed Control not activating

    Pretty sure I’m being dumb & need to RTFM- I have enabled all the MG Pilot features, however the Intelligent Speed Control doesn’t want to activate- every time I enable it, it switches itself off. Any thoughts?

    Post your “stopgap” car photos!

    Following on from some recent activity in the neverending, always entertaining ZS Shipping Updates thread, I feel we should capture the temporary stopgap cars some of us have whilst waiting on the slow boat from China. To start us off, my eCorsa, currently unnamed but is definitely a she...

    Bonnet price increases

    Got the email this morning. Irritating it may be the previous prices were unsustainable in the current environment. Took my subscription up in March (on the previous fiction estimated delivery date, at least I’ve got some kWH saved up

    Connecting LR ZS to WiFi

    Afternoon all, Got a vague recollection when I “man-read” the manual that there is an option to connect to your home WiFi. Did I dream this and, if not, what is it used for- presumably OTA updates?

    USB socket by the rear view mirror- suitable for dashcam?

    Per the title- I’ve got a vague recollection that this has been discussed before but can’t seem to locate the original thread. I would guess that would be why one was placed there (presumably switched by the “ignition”?)- if so I can reuse the one from my current chariot & just buy a diddy USB...
