I'm indifferent about the grill on the MK2, it doesn't bother me, but it could be more inspired. Luscombe Leeds were offering a "Black Edition" which was various parts having trim vinyl added, I think a few people did DIY copies

I agree with Fred, the 22 model had a lot of improvements, you can recognise it easily by the blank front grill

Not necessarily with some of the crazy discounts being offered

It's very common, called pre-registration, lots of dealers do it to keep their numbers up. You'll be the second owner, but beside that, everything else should be as per new, including warranty Good choice, going top of the range is always good at resale

If you are worried about resale values, I would certainly suggest that you go for the LR model. These will hold their values better, as more and more longer range cars come out It's always hard reading forums, people often don't list exactly which model they have. I would say that the far...

You can get lots of these warnings if the front camera (on the rear view mirror) is misted over, they can clear after a few minutes of driving with the demister on

I'm a firm believer in "if you say something with enough confidence, people believe it's true" I told the dealer that it was warranty, as if it was a matter of fact. I don't know if that had any influence, but it "may" have helped :)

With all due respect to Les, who is very helpful There's not a copy of a letter from MG, it's a transcript of an email from an individual at an MG dealership Both Les and Miles are top guys, who I trust what they say, but do you really think that a typed note on a forum about an MG5, would have...

4. "Front camera is blocked" warning message This is very likely to be related to your windows misting up, The front camera is behind the rear view mirror (the box in the grill, is the front radar) If the screen is misted, then the camera will be blocked and due to the "great" design, the...

To me, that is the best evidence that you have to demonstrate that their is an issue with the battery What sort of miles/kWh do you get on average? The dealerships must get quite a few complaints about not achieving the advertised range, but this isn't the same, if you could document... Charged...

That does sound odd How is your range? does it tie in with 32kWh or 44kWh? If you reset the trip meter, from a full charge, what range do you achieve on a long run and what was the Miles/kWh for the same journey?

On the ZS MK2 you're foot most definitely does not have to been all the way off the accelerator pedal for the brake light to come on I've had quite a play with it, it comes on when a certain percentage regen is reached, from memory it's when the gauge is showing -7% (though my memory has been...

I live in a very unlit area in the countryside. I found the screen to bright on its lowest setting But I noticed, when I set it to minimum, it was ok, but next time I used it, it was brighter, even though the setting was still at its lowest I then set it a fraction higher, that seemed to help!

I consider myself pretty adventurous, I've got to say though, I'm in awe of your journey ?

I'm not sure, I think that the front radar does also use a combination windscreen camera in some circumstances. Certainly some of the error messages are when the windscreen camera is fogged or iced up
