unfortunately we don't have much 25C normal round here!

I have my (Jan 2020) car booked in for 27 January at my local MG agent Waylands. I have always found them reasonably priced for service, but pretty hopeless for sales, with very poor salespeople. I will try to remember to post details of the service after the event.

Yes, they should not really be able to use the "7 Year warranty" tag with so many exceptions. It downgrades the marque.

I also noticed very low regen when the ambient temperature was about -5°C. I think its normal.

I suspect that the heater system is software driven. This allows for the various options to be quickly available and shown on the display module., Thus it just might be worth doing the "disconnect the 12V battery" trick which should reset the software.

ICE cars also suffer battery problems if left for weeks without use, mainly due to alarms and other continuous battery loads. The solution is obviously a maintenance charger, but this is only possible if mains power is close and there are no issues with cables, etc. Another option could be a PV...

I think a visit to the agent is required......

Yes, bought January 2020, now about 25,000 miles, goes for 5th MOT on 27 Jan. No issues so far. (Fingers crossed).

We have a ZS identical to the one in the Utube shown above. It is an excellent car and I would recommend it. The later up date is uglier and more expensive!

Google Tayna batteries, put in your reg no and it will tell you. Then order it and it will be delivered to you next day. Very good service.

Well as I thought, my mk1 ZS does not have any rear vent, nor a "MAN" button!

One of the main issues is that there is huge manufacturing capacity for all ancillary car items such as blower motors, wiper motors, horns, heated seats etc that are all there at cheap prices at 12V. Probably no change foreseeable in that department.

Where are these vents?

yes, the wheel-nicking problem seems to have gone away now. Very few care are fitted with them now.

I think Coulomb is right, although I am not bothered by the niggles. The ZS is a great car in many ways. Sometimes I am tempted by the long range models, including Tesla, but we have a Merc e320 estate which is much more suitable for long journeys anyway.

The MG service agents usually fail to re-register the car for a further year of AA cover. However, when I spoke to AA (a couple of years ago) they said they responded to all calls from MG EV's.

You could try looking for the wiring and the actual switch to see whether has a loose connection? It is probably part of the latching mechanism. Of course the switch may be faulty, especially as it is quite old. If you can find the wiring to it you could cut and join them using a chocolate...

It looks as though in Mrwobling's case, some 'toggle' switch has got confused. Maybe a "12V battery disconnect" would help?

If you stop the car, does the noise stop?

But this grinding was on full lock, not when the brakes are applied. I would suggest this sounds more like a faulty constant velocity joint, which is the item through which the power is passed to the front wheels. They make that noise when very worn. As this is a new car, it is more likely a...
