    Help to choose between three MG ZS EV 44.5 kWh Exclusive Auto 5dr cars: Is £3000 worth with it?

    I would not go for the most expensive one, not worth it. Warranty is not 7 years on everything, just the battery. Also, my ZS Mk2 is coming up to 60K, drives just fine and the battery seems perfectly fine. I would try to get the cheapest one even cheaper if you can but I would avoid buying...

    How are older ZS doing over time? (rust proofing)

    I would go for ZS. Mine is 2022 standard range Trophy, second hand with almost 60K on the clock now. All good so far and no rust. Just make sure it's got full service record from MG dealers. I would avoid buying privately. I got mine from a non-MG dealer. Not ideal but better then private sale ...

    Steering wheel - peeling/flaking "leather".

    It happens on other cars too, it happened on my not so cheap 5008 Peugeot ... so far my ZS steering wheel is still fine after almost 60,000 miles (coming up to 100,000 km). Lot of things can contribute to this, strong sun, holding and rubbing the steering wheel always in the same place, sweaty...

    Secret menu Mk2 - Pin

    The one I got from AliExpress for a few quid works fine for the past 12 months. The only thing I have to do is unplug it when I turn the car off as it won't play music when I turn the car on again. This is due to my phone Bluetooth fighting it ...

    Not how I thought today was going to pan out...

    12v battery issue

    Shame that the car is often being let down by poorly educated mechanics that can't pinpoint the issues ...

    Head Unit

    To be honest, if I were you in your shoes, I would probably not bother. Lot of work with uncertain result... I'm looking at a dashcam that replaces drivers mirror and comes with rear camera too. So you can actually see front and/or rear camera view in the "mirror" or switch it off and use as...

    Head Unit

    Not many (if anyone at all) ever seen behind the infotainment screen, let alone played with the unit. More chance getting a discussion going if you post what are you trying to achieve. Are you trying to swap the units and why? Or want to add rear view camera? I don't know if that might help you...

    ZS EV collided and it won't take a charge

    I'm happier without it... My dealer would charge me £350 to diagnose and change it ... 😩😂

    EV tariffs

    My Octopus Go quote now shows more than a few days ago - peak 31.64p, off-peak 8.5p (5 hours 00:30 to 5:30) standing charge 47.7p. and all that is more expensive than British Gas...

    EV tariffs

    Thanks John. I tried making a spreadsheet with some EV tariffs and it doesn't add up for me, Octopus Go quoted more than others (8.5p) + I need gas as well and haven't seen any options for gas on Octopus... If I go for any better tariff with Octopus, I need to have approved charger etc (which...

    EV tariffs

    At the end of my (3-pin granny charger) EV9 dual fuel tariff with British Gas and now looking at EDF 2 year fixed with cost of installing Pod Point Solo 3S charger spread over 2 years fixed tariff. Anyone with Pod Point Solo 3S and EDF on dual fuel to share their experiences? Apparently...

    Connection issues - pinning down the source

    Don't waste time and send back to the dealer to be fixed under warranty and ask for courtesy car if they are going to take ages fixing it.

    Wheel trims

    see here Wheel trim top coat peeling off. Try asking your dealer to replace under warranty but I'm not optimistic. When time comes to sell the car or earlier if you wish, repaint them. ADMIN - maybe these two threads could be joined in one?

    Safety features failing

    Dealers .... !!!! I get a feeling that half the time they have no idea what are they doing. Having a fun experience with mine lately, they never seem to be able to pinpoint the fault but always happy to ask for extra £150 to diagnose more... Guess they haven't offered to refund you for work...

    Battery equalisation on ZSEV Trophy LR

    Thanks for detailed post. I charged mine to 100% quite a few times from various percentages and from what I can see, there is always balancing at the end when the charge reduces from 3kW (granny charger) towards 1kW or less for random amounts of time, sometimes 15 min, sometimes much longer. I...

    Looking at a ZS EV

    I think warranty starts from the date of sale not registration! Any mileage on the clock? Might have been demo car and if so, get extra £1,000 off ? Check prices nationwide for the same car (spend a day calling everywhere) and "blackmail" your local dealer with it. I bought mine second hand...
