Well I've gone and done it, traded the old faithful Red Gen 1 ZS for a Volcano Orange MG4 Trophy long range, I pick it up on the 3rd of June. I initially enquired about the 0% finance deal that ends June 30th at our local dealers, thinking maybe it was too late due to delivery times and was told...

Any good ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/195592112434?itemid=195592112434&norover=1&siteid=3&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-157833-627758-8&mkcid=16&chn=psoc&tracking=23852880312910624&cid=23852880305440624

Because it was quiet at 7am, I decided to try the 15 minutes free trick before I started my shopping and confirming the charge at my local Tesco's Pod point today. I plugged in, sat in the car and locked it, the car started charging. 15 minutes later the Pod point clicked off so I thought I...

I usually wait until everything is thawed out before opening a window or operating the wipers etc. but yesterday I accidentally pressed one of the auto down window switches too early and the window groaned, jerked, then stopped. I immediately thought, "oh bu**er, I've probably blown a fuse"...

Or, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" ;)

Has anybody had a problem with the "ZS EV" app not connecting to the OBDII adapter ? I know the adapter is ok as it works fine with Torque Pro. I've not done anything different since it worked fine 3 weeks ago, the last time I used it. I can't see the SOH and SOC on Torque Pro.

I think I may have seen this is another thread but can't find it using search. 2020 Gen 1 ZS. Am I right in thinking the phone button on the steering wheel only works with Android auto ? I seems a bit bit daft that I have to reach over and press the phone symbol on the info screen to make a call...

If anyone with a Gen 1 is interested and has a 3d printer, I've designed and 3d printed a tool to aid the removal of the very stiff, headlamp rear covers when changing the bulbs. 2020 ZS EV headlamp cover tool by kithmo Download the .stl file if you have a 3d printer. With my setting shown on...

How do you close an app in Android auto ? When you switch to another app, is the previous one supposed to be closed or is it running in the background ? The reason I ask is that I opened a radio app and when I opened another app it was still running and I couldn't close it, I had to exit android...

It must be an age thing but I'm a bit confused as to what exactly a cycle is on a battery. Is it one charge from 0-100% ? Is it each charge from whatever to whatever % ? Is it a collective number of charges that add up to 100% ? For example, if I charge my battery say 20 times from 50-80%, is...

As above. I tried using it today on Android auto and it asked me to enter the PIN displayed on my device ??? There was no pin displayed on the car screen or the phone, what does it mean ? Also I can't sign in as it didn't recognise my password, when I changed the password Google saved it but the...

My Bluetooth adaptor stopped working with the ZS EV app so I thought it was kaput and bought another one. When I tried to access the data, the adaptor connects to the phone fine, the first load counter goes to 100% but then the second counter as it was loading the data went to 40% then shut the...

Does the recommendation to charge to 80% to preserve battery life only apply to rapid charging or should you do it on AC as well ? I'm not one to follow this religiously because I don't keep my cars very long, only 3 or 4 years. But I was thinking, should my next one be the last new one I buy...

Did someone do a translation for the Chinese on engineering mode on here ? I've done a search but can't find it. Or was it on Facebook ?

My first glitch today (or was I dreaming). I put the front demister on this morning to de-ice the light frost on the screen and as usual the fan speeds up. When the screen was clear, I pressed the demister button to turn it off and resume normal fan speed, the light on the button went off but...

I've noticed my ZS is no longer doing a balance after it reaches 100%, it tapers off from 6.6kW draw to my background level of around 200W in about 5 minutes. I can initiate the balancing by pressing the door button after it finishes charging. The battery is pretty well balanced AFAIK, being...

Anyone having trouble with the Instavolt app today ? I got an email saying the payment card I'm using is about to expire, so I opened the app to update it, logged in and a message keeps popping up saying, "there was an error processing your request, please try again later". The message popped up...

When I bought my ZS in July last year the range shown on the GOM always showed 163 miles when charged. Then in the winter it went down to 157, fair enough HVAC used, same journeys. I had never reset the Accumulated totals trip. When the car went for it's first service at the beginning of last...

Just a thought for those who think the AC is not as cool as other cars. I was a bit bored today so I thought I'd give the AC a good workout, seeing as the car was sat in the sun (no tints) and I have a new clock and temperature gauge attached to one of the centre vents. I sat in the car, on my...

Read an interesting article by Parkers that makes me glad our ZS doesn't have an app. Car data. :cautious:
