Has anyone else noticed that the speed limiter function no longer needs to be re-selected from the screen every time the car is restarted? (or indeed, was our car the only one this happened on previously?) Historically, the speed limiter has been a proper PITA to use because it had to be reset...

The Aussies have hacked the Mk1 ZS to improve regen, bring true one pedal driving and fix the cruise control to use regen rather than the mechanical brakes - all things that in their natural state annoy me about the ZS. Now all I need is to find out if this can be done with the Mk2 as well 🙂

Seems that MG have updated the iSMART app (well, on Android anyhow) and ...... broken it. There's a new section called Smart Peripherals (no idea what it's for, it's empty and just has a network error) and the charging page now says that the charge port is broken and overheating (which is...

Does anyone know if there is any adjustment for the ZS gen 2 headlamps between LHD and RHD pattern? I can't find anything related to this in the manual (either an adjustment method or where/how to install deflectors) as I'd prefer not to dazzle everyone in the UK when we travel over next month.

... and it no longer clicks on every turn, yay! We had to wait almost six months for the replacement steering column to arrive from China, but the garage called as soon as it did and got the car in at the earliest opportunity. It;s so much nicer to drive. Whilst it was there we asked them to...

We're currently in Lagos in SW Portugal having driven down via the Pyranees, across to the east coast of Spain and a lap of Gibralter in the ZS EV - to be honest, it wasn't our first choice of car for this trip, but our Merc decided to eat itself about 60km south of Bordeaux, so we limped it...

Yes, I know that I've harped on about this this subject for some time, but as we are planning a trip through Spain and down to the Algarve leaving this weekend it's popped back into the forefront of my mind. The trip was initially due to be in the dino-burner basically because it's way faster...

Well, the MG is out of the garage, still broken, but we got bored of waiting for the dealer not to fix it and decided to take it on a trip to Spain as I'm working at the Barcelona circuit this weekend taking polaroids of race cars going round and round in circles turning hydrocarbons into noise...

It appears that Luscombe are accepting orders for the facelift MG5 from today - UK deliveries beginning Q1 2023. https://www.luscombemotors.co.uk/mg/new/new-mg-5-ev?fbclid=IwAR28KdBdx8c3I969Wecsyl2pqLp8HVXyYEJxC034xWvsQbJlW-lKkT-JM_I

..... if our MG were any other car we would have rejected it as unfit for purpose by now; neither SWMBO nor I have any time for vehicles that do not work as they should or are advertised, but somehow, the ZS just tugs on both our heart strings and we can both forgive it virtually any sin. To...

..... I ordered a Toyota GR Yaris 18 months ago now and have been patiently waiting since (we usually get a 6 monthly mail from Toyota with bad news). Yesterdays was a mail saying the entire 2022 stock is allocated and nothing until 2023. I'm still no. 236 on the waiting list! On the plus...

Shell's just announced a big increase in their UK charging network with ambitions that 90% of UK drivers will be within 10 minutes’ drive of a shell rapid charger by 2030 - big claims, let's see if they manage to pull it off .....

We had the ZS' windows tinted yesterday and it makes a huge difference and, I feel, gives it a more premium look. I know they are not tinted to save money, but at the price point they are now, I feel that they should be. Went from this: To this: We stayed away from the 'full gangster' look...

Most of the big supermarkets nr us now offer EV charging and it's free at some - this made me smile somewhat when I rolled into our local E.Leclerc yesterday morning though .....

Anyone who is using the Bonnet App, here are three (working as of today) codes for 100% discount, thus three free electron refills if paid for via the app. Just popped up on a French EV group, have tried them on our app and all have been accepted. ND3FB FREECHARGE1 FIRSTCHARGE SPEAKEVBNT (this...

We own what seems like the world's most moultiest hound, her hair shows up everywhere and can get anywhere, even when she's been nowhere near the spot! So our first job with any car is to make it look as if it's been hired out to the Albanian mafia to dispose of bodies in! I'm particularly...

Happy April 1st ;)

Had to read this a couple of times, then check it wasn't April 1st yet, but it could lead to recharging cars in under 10 seconds! https://metro.co.uk/2022/03/28/new-battery-charging-tech-could-fill-electric-cars-in-9-seconds-16355948/

Over the weekend we were lucky enough to have a Marvel R on loan to us for three days. As they are still somewhat of a rare beast I thought I'd spend a few moments to write down my thoughts, mainly this is a cathartic process to get everything we thought about it on paper so as we have so many...
