    New MG4 Trophy LR Vehicle Control System Fault

    I believe so. I ended up with a January 2024 model, and was pleasantly surprised by the lack of problems with LKA etc. It seemed like it was worth the extra I paid compared to a 2023 model, though I was forced by availability. I still had the under-tray bulge though. But I'm in Australia, and...

    MG4 in Australia

    I got one from Ali Express for more reasonable money. That was years ago though, and I forget the price. I have had zero issues with it, though I would have preferred a down button so it doesn't take ten presses to go down one amp. Watch out for a non-Australian mains plug. That's not a concern...

    Navigation MG ZS EV on Curacao

    It's tricky, so yes it's possible. Updating maps is actually something that you can do yourself, if you know where to download the appropriate map updates. I assume that you need the address that all owners in South America use, though that might be too big, so they could well split that into...

    Vandalised chargers

    Well, fewer desperately poor people in the UK, I would think and hope. In the USA, inequality of all income is huge, and increasing.

    Problems connecting to Rapid Chargers - and I'm not a Newbie!

    It could be the charging socket. There was a post recently about someone getting their CCS port replaced as the two DC pins were corroded. That fixed their rapid charging problems. Sadly, I can't find that post now, with the forum software or with Google. Perhaps take a good look at the big...

    Navigation MG ZS EV on Curacao

    That suggests to me that there is a problem with the Satellite Navigation antenna. Some models use part of the rear defroster as the antenna, but I think that all ZS models have the antenna under the dash somewhere. Your dealer should know about this. I'm guessing that you don't have a lot of...

    2 month old ZS EV LR - several faults and now HV Battery Shut Off

    How was this determined? It's not a trivial check. A worn out 12V battery would be my first suspicion with that laundry list of fault codes. Lead acid batteries don't like deep discharges. It may have sat in a car lot or in storage for months and neglected.

    Anyone else getting dcdc charge fault & more errors leading to MG5 breakdown?

    Yes, charge the 12V battery with an ordinary 12V battery charger! The car could shut down any moment with only 11.8V.

    MG5 EV Lowering springs

    That's not for me. But to each their own.

    MG5 Android Auto disconnecting over bumps

    Was this the phone's USB port, or the car's? I guess it's probably worth cleaning both.

    High Speed Charging Issues

    I presume you've tried it on a variety of rapid chargers? Sadly, there are still compatibility issues, some due to the charger, others due to the car. Is it an older model? Some early ZS EVs had a batch of bad EVCC modules (EV Communications Controller), which conceivably might affect only...

    Forced unbind in the iSMART-app, how long does it take?

    Don't do that! Every time you try to force unbind, the timer resets! Just leave it alone for more than 3 days (72 hours).

    2026 MG4 Facelift

    From the MG logo at the front, I'd guess that the photo is AI generated. So these updated features are possibly guesses.

    Goodbye old friend

    And perhaps change your "Driving" settings to the appropriate ZS model. Click on your avatar at the top of any page, choose Account Settings, then look for "Driving:". Congrats on the new motor.

    Car just started up by itself!

    I wonder if the 12V* battery was low, and not enough energy was in the hybrid battery to top it up. Teslas don't have engines; they are all pure electric. I suppose that your hybrid battery might indeed have gotten hot, and the petrol engine would be needed to run the air conditioning. *...
