That would be great - but alas the lights don't have GPS - so they don't know where your car is - they are just setup for the country where you bought your car. So you still have to use stickers on your headlights if travelling from UK to France.

Brighton MG back in June. They are now part time of Lookers so may have bumped up their prices. Or maybe not. (I’ll find out next year)

Many cars ago, my VW was super cleaned every single time I took it in - even if it was just to briefly look into a problematic switch. It was a good thing, and I do miss it. (though I don't miss paying £8 for washer liquid top up - even when it was already full - and that was 15 years ago!) As...

Here we go again: another report - this time an older ZS EV model. https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/23884544.electric-mg-zs-car-mind-own-brakes-failed-lancing/ Read the comments (and note the upvoted ones) if you want to confirm the anti EV media war is winning. The journalist doesn't help...

I left my mk2 Zs for about 10 days at the airport last summer. Battery was exactly where I’d left it and 12v battery had topped up automatically. The app stops responding after 7 days or so - I think the system on the car hibernates and it seems happens on some other cars too. I was checking...

Technically it can receive some kind of updates. In practice, this has never happened. For core updates - it needs to be done at a dealer. I expect this is done this way as a safety measure to ensure that the core car software is only installed under controlled conditions. Imagine someone...

I think that message refers to Over The Air updates only.

I've had updates run twice on my T(connect) LR since getting it in July last year. Both times for free. The first time - in July - was to clear the "car needs servicing" and just to check if the remote dealer I bought it from had indeed run all the updates as promised - they hadn't - and it...

My main concern was the fact I left it facing south rather than north (I have tinted rear windows) and with the heat I was worried it might get too hot inside - and also worried that the 12v battery may not top up by itself - both resolvable with a bit of air con. I didn’t want to come home to...

That is shocking! The ZS EV mk2 is a million miles from that. It has quirks, but is always drivable. I had a bunch of updates run on the car just before I went on holiday - they may have fixed a number of issues I’ve had before. Having the car start up happily has certainly helped me trust it...

Car started up fine. 12v battery was up to 13.8 when I picked it up. So my conclusion is that the car hibernates after 7 days. This makes the “find my car” feature a bit pointless as without connecting to the car, it forgets where the car was… Still - happy the 12v was healthy and the main...

Whilst driving, I’ve had the infotainment crash on me. I’ve had all security systems switch off whilst driving. Music sometimes starts by itself and sometimes stops by itself. The 12v battery seems to have dipped too low for the car to respond. I’ve read of door close sensors confusing the...

Lol - luckily the stand alone battery powered tracker confirmed the car is still there. Though the steering column may indeed have gone.

I was checking daily and ready to run the air con to boost the 12v battery. Once the 12v battery did go up by itself from one day to the next. However, without running the air con, the 12v battery level did go up across 2 days, so it looked like it was topping itself up. Currently I can’t...

Sure - computers are fine, But when a car manufacturer doesn’t do things right and allows a small battery to get critically low when it’s so close to a huge battery that could top it up, it’s worth keeping an eye on things. It certainly shouldn’t behave the way it is now. If the car starts...

Well, they weren’t just a bunch of computers back then…

The 12v did go up from one day to the other, so I assumed it was being topped up from the big battery (as you’d expect). Also, when I ran the air con (as suggested on this forum somewhere) it did also boost the 12v battery. My daily check was specifically to make sure the 12v didn’t get too...

Another possibility that just dawned on me: the last contact was on the 31st of July. I wonder if the coms / infotainment hibernate unless the car is switched on in a given month? I’m really just hoping the 12v battery hasn’t gone so low that the car won’t start when I get back to it. Trying...

I’ve left my car with 67% battery for over a week and was checking the status from day to day to check the internal temperature making sure it didn’t get too high. I ran the air con remotely once, and the 12v battery level went up a bit in the process. I checked the 12v level the next day and...

I’ve not forgotten about getting details on the updates. I’ll do it as soon as I can, but it will be a couple weeks of weeks now
