I'm guessing this is the Braintree dealer which charged me extra back in the day when I had the so-called "Comfort" update to my original Gen 1 ZS. The thing is MG Motors does not pay these dealers for the time our cars are sat blocking a repair bay downloading SW and being checked and...

Absolutely the way I used the MG ACC and MG Pilot even around county lanes as it takes a lot of effort out of the steering. The slow down at bends is intentional and is meant to prevent overspeeding through the bend, but it isn't the way you would naturally drive and power through a bend and...

This isn't uncommon. This issue was raised when I had my ZS on order back in 2019 when I was also looking at KiA Niro First Edition and Kia is no different it is just each car company jiggles around their priorities on their warranty list.

I had exactly the same at about 2½ years old, but fortunately not quite as long a split and it made no difference when I traded it in

100 miles in winter is certainly doable but if you're driving in heavy rain or headwind on a motorway or dual carriageway with little opportunity for regen so you may be down to single figures range/battery percentage at the end of a 100-mile trip. I'm about 130 miles from Rugby MOTO Services...

No apparently not. The module would need the Thai software running on the Infotainment Head Unit to talk to the GSM iSmart hardware. So I guess it depends on what you want from the iSmart functionality for a work-around. There have been quite a few people go down the route of installing the...

I've always preferred the fabric seats of the more Excite and SE models for that reason. I even considered the idea of buying a pair of Excite front seats from a vehicle dismantler and swapping them out, but actually fitting thermal blocking, nearly clear, window film at the front of the car was...

My daughter is still waiting after a year for the steering rack replacement on her ZS. I could never get the tailgate to stop rattling no matter how I adjusted the bump stops or slammed shut the thing.

Sorry I've not played around with the Facelift model but there may be. The 1st Gen car infotainment system was Windows based whereas the new generations of MG are Android based so underpinned by a Linux Kernal and therefore more responsive which means they don't carry over all that Windows OS...

I concur. The Alcantara I had on the seats of my Honda CR-V Nav was brilliant. Never cold in winter or too hot in summer and after 5 years when I sold the car they looked as good as new.

I've heard of other people doing something similar but I've been reluctant to attempt that in case the silicon spray might migrate across the glass and caused persistent smearing or residues might prevent the proper adhesion of the adhesive use to stick and provide a water tight seal should I...

Yes, it works but only as far as OVMS functions allow. The issue with the Gen 1 ZS EV was that the whole software system build was different and the Thai Head unit had additional external Hardware which wasn't compatible with the European and I believe Australian cars.

Correct the Gen 1 (as I have) doesn't have an 80% limit sadly nor a charge timer so I just do the quick mental arithmetic of how many miles I need to add to get to roughly 805 then set the timer on my app for the Home charger allowing 1 hour of charge for every 25 miles I want to add overnight...

Thanks, I'll take a look at that although I'm actively searching for a longer EV so if I make a private sale this could make all the difference.

ZS is prone to make that noise in cold weather. Mine always had and I've had it for 3 years. Some say that it is the speaker wiring in the A-Pillar and go to the lengths of removing the trim and putting foam in and around the wiring which I think gets a little stiff and makes a rattling...

Sorry I was thinking ZS and MG4 which are LFP. The clue is if you can actually set an 80% "Daily" charge limit or not. If you have that option and can set it (I know the LFP ZS you saw it on the Battery screen but there was no enable limiter in the software) then you've not got LFP 51 kWh pack...

Okay but different BMS in various applications adopt different methodologies. Some for instance monitor at the cell level and manage at the cell level while others BMS manage clusters or blocks of individual cells. MG use battery pouches so for example I have a Gen 1 ZS 44.5 kWh pack with 108...

I was offered a 5 year £750 package when I bought my ZS in 2020 but opted not to take a package and I wasn't offered any low mileage package. I believe that the low Milage package is an MG package not a dealer package but this doesn't include the annual extension of the MG?AA Breakdown cover...

I've 36 month service tomorrow and had the 1st MOT last month. The service is principally a top-up of washer fluid tbh as everything else is "check the appearance of X or Y" most of which were checked on the MOT less than a month ago. Had I known when I took delivery that COVID would have...
