    Worn out seat! Anyone else?

    My car is a ZS EV Trophy Connect, had since new from Summer 22. Have done just 20.6k miles on it so far. Noticed the cracks this week on the driver’s seat, right side by the door. My first thought was cold weather and the use of heated seats - but it’s pretty poor and not for for purpose. I...

    Driving in France/EU - Headlight deflectors required or not??

    Thanks for this - I hope you don’t mind, I’ll add a few keywords here as I didn’t find this thread when searching for this: eurolite headlamp beam deflector beam converters for driving in EU Europe France.

    Software Updates

    I've got a ZS EV Trophy Connect LR 2 years old from new. I didn't buy my car from my local dealer (as there was no stock when I got mine) - but they have been great, and twice installed tons of updates (3-4 hours each time - for free) which fixed the early issues ("dead reckoning" + "service...

    Lights abroad

    That would be great - but alas the lights don't have GPS - so they don't know where your car is - they are just setup for the country where you bought your car. So you still have to use stickers on your headlights if travelling from UK to France.

    ISMART

    I’ve been experiencing exactly the same in recent times (iOS). Token expires, then I need to fetch my password from my password manager (which involves 12 taps(!) as I have to search for it), log in, change from metric to imperial and enable face-id login again. This happens extremely often -...

    Is a car wash included in the Dealership service?

    Brighton MG back in June. They are now part time of Lookers so may have bumped up their prices. Or maybe not. (I’ll find out next year)

    Is a car wash included in the Dealership service?

    Many cars ago, my VW was super cleaned every single time I took it in - even if it was just to briefly look into a problematic switch. It was a good thing, and I do miss it. (though I don't miss paying £8 for washer liquid top up - even when it was already full - and that was 15 years ago!) As...

    Interesting/worrying story from Scotland - ZS with no brakes.

    Here we go again: another report - this time an older ZS EV model. https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/23884544.electric-mg-zs-car-mind-own-brakes-failed-lancing/ Read the comments (and note the upvoted ones) if you want to confirm the anti EV media war is winning. The journalist doesn't help...

    How worried should we be?

    I’ll wait till it happens again. I’m pretty sure they are real addresses as they vary in level of accuracy - sometimes full address, sometimes postcode. There’s an MG dealer there - but also a Nissan dealer. The moment it happens again I’ll take things further. If it doesn’t happen again -...

    How worried should we be?

    Update - so far the data hasn't been overwritten in the car (only 2 days) - I'm not really sure how long I need to leave it - I just know that after some time, I'd look at it and it would be filled with more seemingly random addresses. I'll leave it about a week then check and then try other...

    How worried should we be?

    There is another entry further down (on a screenshot I didn’t' share) for that same postcode which is more precise with the street and house number. If you're interested I can give you the full address on that one. It could, of course, be an MG owner, or the destination of a tradesman or...

    How worried should we be?

    I will try to google some addresses - will take screenshots tomorrow. I got the car from new (see profile picture). The issue only manifested itself after the last update I got some time back to fix the “service every 750 miles” bug. Before that I didn’t have this data leak issue. It’s very...

    How worried should we be?

    I have an interesting experience I'd like to share which is possibly relevant to this thread. My particular ZS EV Trophy Connect Long Range has a software bug with the navigation - I seem to get other people's home/work settings and also their recent destinations. NOTE #1: I use CarPlay most...

    Car stands for a week

    I left my mk2 Zs for about 10 days at the airport last summer. Battery was exactly where I’d left it and 12v battery had topped up automatically. The app stops responding after 7 days or so - I think the system on the car hibernates and it seems happens on some other cars too. I was checking...

    What software version is the latest

    Technically it can receive some kind of updates. In practice, this has never happened. For core updates - it needs to be done at a dealer. I expect this is done this way as a safety measure to ensure that the core car software is only installed under controlled conditions. Imagine someone...

    What software version is the latest

    I think that message refers to Over The Air updates only.

    Car or computer

    I bought my ZE EV outright last year - and originally planned to keep it 10+ years as most of my previous cars. With the fast pace of technology and potential issues beyond the warranty - I now think I wouldn't keep mine beyond 6 years - leaving 1 year warranty left for the next owner to take...

    What software version is the latest

    I've had updates run twice on my T(connect) LR since getting it in July last year. Both times for free. The first time - in July - was to clear the "car needs servicing" and just to check if the remote dealer I bought it from had indeed run all the updates as promised - they hadn't - and it...

    Leaving car unused for over a week - no longer contactable.

    My main concern was the fact I left it facing south rather than north (I have tinted rear windows) and with the heat I was worried it might get too hot inside - and also worried that the 12v battery may not top up by itself - both resolvable with a bit of air con. I didn’t want to come home to...
