I am new to the forum, we have a Gen 1 ZS ev. We have only had it a bit over a year and have done about 15 thousand kilometres in it. It has been great. We had one fault where it had to be taken to the dealer and have some software changed. The car started adding fault lights and did not want to clear them, so the dealer changed some software.
Once it did not want to charge on a fast charger, but disconnecting the 12 volt battery fixed that.
The only other fault we had was with rodents. A rat decided to live in the engine bay and ate through the brake booster hose.
This caused the car to give a Power System Failure message and also to go into Turtle mode. The brakes worked but were very spongey.
Fortunately this happened at home, and I found it easily. I replaced the hose and the car is normal again.
We live in a remote area and have an off grid house. I have lived with Solar power now for over 40 years and love it. The car is charged from solar panels with a Zappi charger that I installed. We like being able to make our own fuel.

Hello there,
New to the forum.
We are interested in buying a used MG5 facelift model but are struggling to actually view one. We live in Edinburgh and all the used cars of this type are for sale in England. Anyone out there near Edinburgh with the newer MG5 who would be so kind as to let us have a look around/sit in it? Don't need to drive it! Not sure how you send a private message on here, but please DM me if you can help.
Thanks, Esme

Hope you find someone.

Otherwise it looks like you might have to take a trip to Ashington or Morecambe!

Or you could take a risk and order a Cinch one and maybe they would let you change your mind.

Indeed, we've seen how cinch works, we just feel awfully bad about moving a car that far that we aren't certain about. And long weekend road trips are unlikely during a busy summer break with the kids! Fingers crossed someone from Scotland with a new MG5 sees this!

Has The Magnette been sold then, @Archev?

Yes the wonderful Magnette finally seems to have been sold I think I shall check in the morning - it was pretty slow to sell but has disappeared from Arnold Clark’s sales list I’m sure.
It was a fine machine indeed. I notice @esme that you specify the later version while the one I called the Magnette was the earlier long range one.
There’s not a lot of difference to my eye but they are fine cars.

Thanks, yes, we have seen the older version but are keen to see them both before we decide.
Any other Scots with the newer MG5, please shout out!
