    Good bye everyone. :)

    The current crazy used car market and a change in our situation meaning we don't need to have 2 cars has tempted me to sell my ZS, as I have a cunning plan I need some money for, lol! Cazoo are the culprits, offering me a ludicrous £20,350, only £1,650 less than I bought it for 18 months &...

    More car maths and battery capacity not what it should be....

    Following on from my post where I suggested the car was not good at maths, I've been paying attention to range and figures. Now the weather is warmer and range is back up, I'm suspecting the last BMS update might have restricted battery capacity available for use more than expected. My useage...

    Is your cars maths correct? Mine never is!

    So what's wrong with this picture? Well, assuming a conservatively useable 41kWh from the battery, 4.5m/kWh should give me a total of 184.5 miles, but I'm on track for 175.1! I've noticed it's always short. This is in economy too, with no ventilation on so it is the maximum possible range...

    25/01/21: Just had latest BMS software. Observations...

    So I had the first service done today. The garage also applied the latest BMS update along with the HV fuse protection update. My car hasn't had any previous BMS updates after the comfort 2 earlier this year, so this may, or may not, be relevant. Anyway, unlike the previous BMS updates...

    Rear chrome trim, oh dear!!

    So, I gave the car a really thorough clean today. Pleased to report after 12 months the paint is still all great and all the original MG chrome is still perfect. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the MG supplied Chrome accessory trim for the bottom of the tailgate. This is clearly...

    No heated mirrors on exclusive!

    So now the weather has got colder I've started to use the heated rear window to defrost in the morning, only to find the mirrors stay frozen! So I don't seem to have heated rear side mirrors. I was sure the exclusive had them and having checked the specification again it should indeed have them...

    Check your Granny!

    This may be of interest to us all... Due to the wife's car being in the way and as I'm too lazy to swap things around, I'll often just pop my car on the 13A outside socket and granny charge it rather than use our 7kW point. I've done this maybe a total of 20 times over the last 7 months. As...

    An update on the increasing play on my loose steering column :)

    You might remember my post about play in my steering column from a while ago. well it got gradually worse until it could be moved up and down about 5mm. Today, I had the plastic panels off to wire in my auto dimming mirror, and sort out the buzzy rattle from the A pillar cover, so had a good...

    Got the new wheels on!

    So, I finally got the new wheel set on the car. Need to get some better, scenic, pictures done soon. They're an Audi fitment. 18"x 8J. the offset is 40. Running 245/40/R18 tyres. These are less than 1% bigger in diameter than the originals, so the speedo is still very accurate. They fit...
