Ok, just tried the car, note, I always turn the recirculation off; now when stationary, the range remaining drops by 9 miles as soon as the left knob, identified as the "air conditioning mode selection switch" is pushed. The displayed range does not alter when the temperature is increased...
When driving the car along, is it possible to get air flow into the MK1 ZS EV without opening a window and getting "ear drum buffering" or running the power hungry fan? If not, is it the same issue with the MG5? even with the sun roof tilted in the ZS the cabin gets stuffy, especially in the...
Please note though...you can only get into the car with this blade, it is somewhere to wait whist the rescue service turns up to put a new battery into your proper key fob, so you can hopefully use the car to move about rather than just a waiting room.
To make it clear, both keys had blades when I purchased the car last December. I have lost one of the blades since then, but discovered the loss when I was prepping the car for the 1st service.
Thanks for the replies.
Feedback from local dealer-
"I had our parts dept look at the blade and he tells me that it looks like it comes as a remote control unit
Rather than just the blade separately , cost of this is £96.47 then it would need cutting to copy
Which we normally use a key cutting shop which normally...
I have just checked my two key fobs, only one of them has the back up mechanical key blade. How do I obtain a replacement, the service department at our dealer had no idea how to get one. Any ideas? Thanks.
Thank you for your very comprehensive description of the process. I will try to beat the 3 second action requirement.....Wouldn't it be nice to have this info in the owner manual.
I will give feedback following my next charging episode
Hi, Just to confirm - as soon as I connect the car to the Rolec wallpoint the car charges completely and then goes into balancing mode then the car states it is charged up. Once that is done I sometimes can't unplug the charging plug from the car socket.
Should the plug into the car be last to...
Hi, No it is a Rolec smart charger, but I can't use it as a smart charger because our phone signal only just makes it a 3g signal even with a signal amplifier.
Not always, I suppose that is possibly the issue, a bit sticky I guess, or a weak solenoid. It is in for it's first service in December. Thanks for the idea.
My ZS EV, (Dec 2020 7K miles) is becoming awkward when I'm trying to disconnect the charging cable following a charge and balance from my ROLEC 7kw wall charger.
The MG badge lights are off, and when I unlock the car on the door button and/or the key fob, the dashboard identifies that the car is...
Hi, yes it is a 2020. I have just turned it on again after 2 hours, the display showed the MG badge then the usual display returned and the temperature is now reading 23c and the clock is back. Very odd but working again. Thanks
The car is a December 2010 with updated software in Feb 2021. in now has 2600 miles and the battery is balanced. Today, on the hottest day of the year, the info system is displaying -40C and the clock is --/--. Any ideas how to get the correct temperature and the clock back?
No it wasn't any different to the replacement, except that the replacement worked. The dealer did put my faulty one into the boot/ trunk of the ZS demonstration vehicle. I did insist that the replacement one worked before I left the dealership.
