Parking brake and several other systems failed on startup. Sat in car, wouldn't select gear, message came up saying to turn off parking brake, did so. Car was parked on a hill. Starts rolling backwards. Parking brake renegaged after holding foot down hard on brake for 30 seconds. Gears still...

Anyone advise if ev brake fluid any different to ice fluid?

Hi all, Something I’ve been meaning to ask, when you are using the regenerative braking (tacking your foot of pedal ) do the brake lights come on, otherwise it could be a problem if you have Mr BMW close behind. Cheers Tony

Based on my experiments it seems that braking does not use regen in itself...is that other peoples view? Different kers setting impacts the regen but for example if on kers 1 and then use the brake it seems to be capped at a lower level, kers 2 a slightly higher level etc.. My previous leaf...

The EPB on my ZS EV sometimes fails to engage. I bring the car to a stop, by using regenerative braking and the foot brake. I then operate the EPB switch and you can hear the brake motor whirr but the brakes don’t stay on. Its just had its first service and there was no fault code registered...

Yesterday, when I got in the car I got a control system failure error which told me to drive to an MG garage. The only problem was that the car refused to move. I could select R or D but the car wouldn't move despite the power reading 30%. I tried the instructions in the manual to release the...

We had a spill inside the car and got water in the Parking brake switch. The car is drivable but slams on the brake when almost stationary as it can't register the switch condition. Anyone advise as to how to remove the switch to dry it or replace it if necessary?

Perhaps more of a technical question, do our cars have open differential? Or is there a brake driven system that mimics LSD much like in BMW's e-diff. Reason I'm asking is; I was climbing out of my steep and twisty garage, left rear wheel lost contact from the limited suspension travel and...

High re-gen slows the car quite dramatically, more so that I'm used to with ICE cars and therefore more than drivers behind me might expect. So, I wonder, does it apply the brake light to warn the driver behind it's dropped the anchor? Si

C'mon - who's going to be first then ?? ?? ( if I could afford it I so would ?)

Anyone pepped their brake lights up yet. And more importantly I suppose, is it legal ? ( AliExpress special). Certainly make your point when braking. Probably extremely irritating if fired during regen braking and sitting at lights with foot on brake.

So what do you think of this shameless profiteering from the only MG parts suppplier I could initially find online. MG4 Front Brake Pads. Volkswagen Golf GTD Front Brake Pads. Let's hope we can purchase from Ali Express or such like when required eh?

I recently took my MG4 SE for its first service at the dealership who informed me to check in six months that I my may need to replace my brake discs. Is this normal after only 4,500 miles? Are they made of Weetabix or cardboard? I have run discs up to 30,000 miles in the past and replaced them...

[ Moderator: Merging threads on this important and emotive issue. Please use this thread for all unwanted AEB issues. ] Driving out of a Morrison's supermarket at the weekend my MG4 suddenly decided to [for the want of a better phrase] emergency brake. This happened once before in the new year...

I have a two and a half year old MG5 long range and on two occasions (several weeks apart) I have been waiting in traffic with the manual parking brake applied and when I try to move off (by just pressing the accelerator) nothing happens! I can't be sure but I think the heating fan stops but the...

So basically if you're considering the Honda e:Ny1 EV, then for £20k less you can get an MG4. Or alternatively, when you can get a Tesla for the same money, who in the hell would buy an e:Ny1?

Late 2020 MG ZS EV, approx 60k miles. Hi, I recently had my rear brake pads replaced at my local garage. They advised me that there was now a warning light on the dash (autohold fault). Not only that, but the parking brake also doesn't work, meaning I had to put logs behind the wheels to stop...

Hi Do you know how I put Parking Brake in service mode on MG ZS EV 2020 or is it not possible? Regards Runar

I've never seen this before, but when you come off the throttle, the brake lights activate. I've never seen this before.
