    Interesting/worrying story from Scotland - ZS with no brakes.

    I saw this yesterday and nearly started a thread on it. I did post on MG owners Club and Yorkshire EV club FB pages - everyone is very sceptical I am somewhat dubious about the whole thing. 1. Why did his brakes not work. They are mechanical and not brake by wire. 2. The poster does not go...

    No Drive

    A strange thing happened this morning. I turned left into a road and tried to accelerate. There seemed to be no drive and the car coasted to a halt. Everything was working as normal and there were no warning lights. I switched it off and then back on again and the problem had cleared. Any ideas?

    Brakes failed

    I experienced the following scenario last night. I was coming up to a roundabout and had my foot hovering above the accelerator and letting KERS do the braking. The road surface at the junction had recently been planed as it is due to be resurfaced. As I moved from the tarmac down to the planed...

    Octopus energy

    I was also thinking of moving to Octopus as my fixed rate with British Gas runs out in November. However, I am now beg to question if it is worth moving to a company with an off peak rate. I only charge my car once a week as my weekly mileage is around 150 miles. I pay 0.1715 pkwh and it costs...

    10mm Spanner

    I had the starting sequence problem last week. I got in and did not think about what i was doing. But I knew I had done something wrong and got the warning lights. The trusty 10mm soon cured the issue. Now I am extra careful about getting the starting sequence correct.

    DASH CAM

    Yes I had one fitted to a XC60 by them. They did do a tidy, decent job. Then when I bought my ICE ZS they were able to fit it to that car as well. A couple of months later the dash cam started buggering about so I stopped using it.

    DASH CAM

    I read somewhere on another forum that Halfords have been instructed not to work on EV’s. Obviously this is not the case.

    DASH CAM

    Just been looking at this on Amazon. I was trying to find a rechargeable battery one but no luck. The only thing that bothers me is where the wire would trail. I watched the video and the app seems easy to use.
