Roof bars have been a bone of contention with owners both on ZS but particularly the original MG5 and a keyword here appeared to be "Approved". Look back over the MG5 comments on this forum (and others I suspect) and the Podcasts and you'll find that MG had an issue with the "Approval" of the...

When you say "when I need a charge on the go I find a fast (40-50kW) one." are you meaning DC Rapid charger with CCS or 43 kW AC Rapid charger with a captive Type 2 Plug?

Many years ago I had an "N" Reg Renault Laguna and I think it was the 2 or possibly 3rd annual service when I put the car into a newly franchised main dealer (Toomey Motors). They called me with a list of 7 items if I recall of extra work including split and leaking CV Gator, leaking exhaust etc...

I think it does make sense. If you have an order in for another brand of EV or are about to put an order in and Tesla says Hey guys you can have any Model 3 or Y at a new significantly lower price and get on in 2 to 3 weeks they are going to pick up just so many more sales and take them from the...

I wouldn't be putting any "copper slip" on the rotating disk for sure. It's only ever been put on the back of the brake pads to stop break squeal or in the edges of the pads where they contact the callipers so there is no way the copper slip would be moving in a magnetic field unless it is the...

Good tip, I'd no idea copperslip could have that effect

Been there, got the Tee Shirt, - nasty when that happens but don't rush anything take your time and best wishes for your health and recovery.

When I had the problems at the Birchanger Dual-headed charger there was an MG5 charging on the adjacent Single-header charger I should have spoken to him and asked if he was having issues. And when he moved off I was tempted to move over 1 bay but thought it might charge faster but "a bird in...

No at the base of the A-Pilar, there is an area with perforations the Tweeter is behind this. I have a Gen 1 ZS and it always comes back in cold weather and then it always seems to go in the summer. I have read on this forum that some owners have removed the A-Pilar trim and taped the speaker...

Yeah that's about right. 163 in summer and around 120/130 in winter. Also compare Apples with Apples, ie compare Normal Mode with HVAC on and heater set to mid position each time. Note when charging the number displayed is what you'd get in ECO Mode not Normal Mode which is displayed when...

I've never heard the noise you describe. It doesn't sound normal. I had a complaint that I could hear whinning on light overrun when cruising at constant speed coming from the transmission and particularly noticeable at speeds around 40 to 55 mph. It's a sound which I disputed with the dealer...

I was seeing the error message on the charger at Birchanger Services

I had the same error on a Gridserve doubleheader at Stanstead Services on M11 on Friday evening 7/1/23 but on 4th attempt it worked, although only at 24 kW until the other EV sharing finish his charge the speed jumped to 48 kW so clearly no increase in supply capacity from the old 50 kW...

Spot on. Advisory on pitted rear discs but a pass. I had during the week previous driven spiritedly in KERS 1 to make more use of the friction brakes and I always a precaution against disc pitting, take the car out for a couple of miles circuit of the town to dry off the discs.

Keep everything crossed for me this Thursday morning and my ZS's 1st MOT

There is a lot of bad and inconsistent signage around charging bays. At my local Sainsburys I politely pointed out to a guy about a year ago that the 4 EV bays were for charging not for parking Hybrid cars. He pointed to one sign which said For Electric and Hybrid Cars. I pointed out to him that...

I was sorry I had to let my MG 4 go and not go through with my order, but so many of the cars seem to manifest this fault so soon after delivery I doubt if I would have made it home, unfortunately. But is it every car that has this problem or is there a large silent majority for whom this...

Yes that's what I understood too as there isn't the whirring sound associated with the handbrake motor when applying or releasing the Hold

I had that at that McD Instavolt last summer. Both bays were occupied one not charging. So I pared in a free NON-Charging bay until one became free. When it did it was the charging EV which freed the bay. However, When I went to take it I got abuse from another EV Driver who claimed it was his...

You have to look at the bigger picture. I have with the use of delayed timers time-shifted heavy usage ie D-washer and Washing Machine to the Octopus Go period. I also keep a close eye on the Gas v Go effective cost per kWh for water heating. During the Winter when I run my boiler at 50C for...
