Possibility I guess but my partner's 5 still has strong regen.

Anyone with original ZS EV had issues with regen not working? Mine has suddenly stopped even when under half a battery

Does anyone else find the ZS difficult to get comfortable in? Maybe I'm too fussy. I knew the car didn't have reach adjustment on steering but after test driving I felt it wasn't too bad but now after a few more long drives and regular commuting the whole ergonomics of the seating position and...

Does anyone know if it's possible to have an MG 5 steering rack fitted to a ZS? My partners 5 LR has reach adjustment but obviously the ZS doesn't have this for some mad reason. Wondered if it was feasible to have this done or if anyone has done it or used other alternatives like spacers behind...

The MG5 has a minimum seat height that is still way too high for my liking. I know there are aftermarket lowering kits for other manufacturers, just wondered if anyone knows of a kit for the 5? Links to sites and reviews if you've fitted a kit yourself would be much appreciated. I'm sure there...

I think all posters to this thread have commented that the option in Settings to turn ON the battery heater fails to "stick" and any attempt to do so is immediately cancelled in the software. The statement in that email that On the MG5 battery heating is always ON seems to suggest that the...

I hate to say it but we're now on second head unit fitted by MG dealer now- only 6mnths old! Seems to be very common fault

Evening all, Does anyone know if the battery heater is set to not work if the ambient temperature is over a certain amount? We are now on our second display screen in 5mnth old LR model! I did another thread about all the faults we had come up on the dash. Dealer put a new screen in and since...

I honestly don't think the sport seems to add much apart from heavier steering, as you say its plenty quick enough even in eco!

I'm finally able to give an update on this issue. It has been fixed by local MG dealer where we bought the car. Didn't get any paperwork on it so we emailed the dealer a day later and they said it was the FICM unit that was replaced. Here's their email response:-

No, it only lasted for one journey then upon restarting the next daily it was gone. Booked into garage for this wknd and getting a MG3 courtesy car- that will be 'fun' going back to ICE!
