    MG ZS EV - what is wrong

    After a while you will soon discover how far you can go on a charge. IMO Speed and driving style are the two most important factors. If i'm being careful I can do about 160 miles..if i'm thrashing it...as I was today...a lot less. I'm happy with it......until I get my longer range one!

    If you had your time over again?

    Who would think to carry a 10ml Spanner? Anyone who follows this forum!.. ..as i've said before, my is taped into the bottom of the battery tray. Calling the AA is not always a painfree business...I waited 5 hours, a couple of weeks for them! (not my MG but my Classic Car).

    Throttle control instead of cruise control.

    I use cruise control occasionally.....but get the distinct impression that I get better range by driving carefully, which is only really important on long trips of course......I do a regular one of 155 miles and usually end up with over 20 miles "in the tank"....In fact I will being doing that...

    Should I take the plunge to MG EV?

    I Agree!! if you want to save some dosh, buy a secondhand, low mileage ZS EV for about 17-20k,...with 5+ years of warranty remaining! With your mileages you may be perfectly able to manage with a granny charger, and save the expense of having one wired in. I have a Mitsubishi PHEV sat in...

    MG5 Motor and transmission noise

    British technology at its finest....from the early 70's I owned a succesion of over 100 cars.....all old British. My early work as a mechanic certainly helped in keeping them on the road.

    My MG Dealer can't finalise any part ex until the day the deal is done. I am hopeful that it will be in the right ball park. If not, I'll sell it privately, as I normally do.

    I don't do "webuyanycar"......in my experience they always want to talk the price down when they see the car. It was £17K from the dealer as a part chop about a year ago.

    Just put my name on the list for a test drive:).....possibly September. Nothing firm yet. Interestingly, the value of my second hand Ev's has increased by about 14% recently, due to poor supply of new on's.......(y)

    Does anyone on this forum think this is an acceptable response from mg

    Its a shame you have has such a crappy experience. I can't complain about my car or dealer (in Derby) In fact I will be knocking on their door again, as soon at the longer range ZS EV becomes available. :)

    Cleaning the MG ZS "engine bay"

    You must change the cam belts regularily on the Rover petrol engines and keep an eye on your cylinder head gaskets...one of the reasons I used to prefer the Diesel version of the 75. A damn fine car, and very reliable and economical. I've still got an imaculate set of eletric beige leather seats...
