    Zs ev 52000 miles suddenly very noisy in travel, sounds like a noisy engine ??

    I refer to the device under the bonnet that is intended to make pedestrians and road users aware that a vehicle is approaching. In most ZS EV models this noise is well muted and it is difficult to tell whether it is active or not.

    Zs ev 52000 miles suddenly very noisy in travel, sounds like a noisy engine ??

    If it were me, I would immediately check the oil level in the transmission, or get it checked by a garage. I note that in the annual service done on my car recently, the oil was changed as one would expect.

    Infotainment system - annoyances or just me?

    I have a gen1 and that holds the programme that I was listening to on the radio. When I start next day, it's the same radio station, same volume etc. Maybe ask for the latest software? There are two things that do irritate me, both with the satnav. First is having to accept the same legal thing...

    How do I tell if my car is a GEN 1 or GEN 2?

    Well if there is to be a gen3 facelift, I hope it looks better than the gen2, where the "facelift" is the main reason I won't buy one! Its a misnomer!

    Passenger door not working

    I thought, indeed think, that the passenger door issue is an intentional feature. It prevents the door being opened when the car is "on" unless it is pulled twice in quick succession. I'm sure it is intentional because the door opens with one pull if the car is "off". Of course that does not...

    0 or under (% SOC)

    For the people who encourage planning ahead, I agree. However, a couple of times my plans have come to nothing and nearly caused stoppage. Once when there was a lengthy road diversion, and the other time when I took a wrong turn and found myself on the M1 and could not get off for 20 miles. That...

    In Praise of the ZS

    Well of course that depends on what the "last one" was? Also EV's are so different from ice cars that it is hard to compare. For instance, ice cars are more comfortable because the HVAC can be used without detriment to the available mileage. My wife is very impressed with the MG, although her...

    Charging Issue

    You also need to do the following when checking for max mileage: 1. Select eco 2. Zero both the current trip recorder and the long-term trip recorder. 3. Make sure all the ventilation and heater are completely off. Only then will the car show the maximum mileage available. This is because all...

    Complete newbie seeking advice

    Well, you do have the LR which helps. My gen1 with 160 miles is fine locally, no problems at all. Going to Cornwall say, or Norfolk, both of which I do regularly, can be awkward, especially in winter. But with a bit of determination and planning, it is ok.

    Reduced range in winter (merged)

    Waterstoney - the average speed is very low, I guess a feature of London driving. But it does allow you good range....

    In Praise of the ZS

    I have been very happy with my gen1, it is a great car and excellent value. I might have moved to gen2 LR except the new grille plus other spec changes have ruined a good looking car. Also the extra cost is a lot for another 100 miles range.

    You should be able to find where you were going in "History" or somewhere similar.

    Balance charging

    Probably, but I am surprised at the power requirement to balance, if that is all that was happening….

    Front bumper

    I can see it if I expand the pictures online. It looks as though the concave part of that area has mal-formed in production. Try looking at other cars of the same model. If they are all the same, it's just part of the moulding. If not, yours is a faulty version and you could ask the supplying...

    Rear Camera

    Mine is similar, but I haven't tried to do anything about it. Previously it has been better once cleaned.

    Various issues with ZSEV Trophy LR - advice needed

    Unfortunately both Gen1 and Gen2 models of the Zs ev seem to suffer from too little air venting to the screen, causing misting up. It is tedious. If you can spare the battery power, then obviously keeping the fan directing air to the screen is the answer. This is normal in ICE cars. On Gen1 cars...

    Heater

    Often colder if coming home in the evening, so more heat required.
