Infotainment being interrupted is one thing, but car control issues are quite another, much more serious.

What do you mean by "lose"? I assume you mean the cruise control drops out and fails to maintain the selected speed.? How do you know the collision warning has failed? Are the roads dry and not oily? Most cruise controls and stability controls are shut off if one of the wheeks is turning at a...

With 4.7m/kwh you're bound to get a good range, should be about 200m. The 151 miles range would have been based on much lower m/kwh.

The usual system on other cars is to put the window all the way down and hold switch down for 4 seconds, then all the way up and hold for 4 seconds. Then it should work...?

Much easier to use a standard 13A mains extension, any should carry 10A with no problem. Position the plug/socket under cover.

Be careful with courtesy car. I had terrible trouble a few years back when my car was rear-ended. My insurer had some special scheme for "no fault" claims and they provided a hire car. After about 3 weeks my car came back and they took the hire car, but then the other party's insurance refused...

Fred12345, if you don't mind secondhand, the Ford Mustang EV, extended range, can be bought for the same money as a MG ZS LR - about £35k. 400 mile range and a great car. I fancy a red one myself.

I had an accident, repaired by a local body-shop that I knew would do a good job, and they did. I think your old boy is in for about £2000. New door skin, repair sill and new wheel trim. On my car, unusually, the paint only had one shade available, but it matched most of the original, although...

Plenty of seats available from well know auction sites. My car at 20k miles and 4 years does not seem to show any signs of wear as yet.

That's curious. My gen1 doesn't seem to have a visible aerial at all....

Adding items and improvements add to the cost in a compound fashion. You have listed 27 items which would all add value but, to a greater or lesser degree, cost more. It's the same with any car, just see how the price rockets as you add extras from the list. When I looked at the ZS gen1 that we...

Maybe buy a different, more expensive car?

Ref Jollyman, I arranged an installation through my usual electrician. Subsequently found that all ev chargers have to be registered with the grid supplier. There is a form to fill in, but they were happy to have retrospective applications.

Well my Gen1 car is 4 years old and 21000 miles, and still returns 165 miles GOM every time, except in depth of winter. So either the battery is in reasonable condition or MG have some way of eliminating any degradation from the calculation. Either way, it seems that battery condition is similar...

This issue really should be investigated by MG and reported on. I still feel it could be a problem in manufacture whereby longitudinal pressure is being continuously applied through the steering column. If is a "bad batch" issue, the supplier should be changed or use a more severe checking regime.

Although the U-tubes were interesting, they were very basic and general, and said little about how SOH is actually measured (if at all). The easiest approximation would be to have the software count the number of times the car was rapidly charged and to what extent, and apply a depreciation...

May be not relevant, but your charging current is very low. I would look to running a cable from the house to get 3kW charging. Otherwise, you could try moving to another repair garage?

I wonder how the SOH calculation is made? Also, is it dependent on charge status at the time? Also, winter/summer? Or is it just another way to worry oneself?

I had my own problems the other day when I had to be told to put my foot on the clutch to start a manual car! Just shows when I last drove one!

3.5 is a bit low, you should try to get about 4.0, or more. Maybe go slower, this makes a big difference. But the predictive range is called Guess-o-meter, for good reason.
