    Steering column clicking sound

    Me to! It was very noticable on the small winding Devonshire / Cornish roads. Thanks Guys I will get the dealers to look into it especially as It has just had its first yeras service. Obviously it never got checked and why not if a known issue? Maybe they should have cinched down the bolts.

    ZS not happy charging after using Discharge setting

    Interesting comments guys, thanks. How does one actually load software updates to the car or does this happen automatically? I am a bit concerned that if I use V2L the same will happen again. I guess the only way to find out is to try it. So will do it when I have the time to faf about and with...

    Vehicle to Load (V2L) - Any Information or First Hand Experiences?

    I have the adaptor and used it succsessfully powering the lights and sockets in our Village Windmill for the open day. I think it can give a max ot 2.4 - 3KW In this case it ran the interior lights and sockets just fine we usually use a noisy smelly generator. Should be more than ample for...

    MG ZS EV Mk1 - Witter Towbar

    Hi again Phil Thanks I have also found that Halfords have stock and will fit it but it will be more expensive than your option. However I feel using an unknown single trader has some risk as to the quality of the fitting so will probably use Halfords at least I will have some comback if it all...

    Thanks for this post I have been looking for a tow bar. The local towbar company say they have these on back order but Ive been waiting patiently for weeks. I will try them again and if not I will do the same and source a local fitter. I am close to Cambridge is this close to your fitter?
