I wouldn't call it unreliable as all the annoying faults on mine don't render the car unusable. It is annoying to have so many niggles on a new car though After 10 years of Toyotas with zero faults and only one recall, then 3 years with the ZS ev with only two faults, the steering click and a...

I set all mine to 2.7 bar 6 months ago and they've all settled down to 2.6 now the weather is cooler.

My old 2020 ZS didn't have the update and I could plug the charger in at least 2 hours before it was scheduled without it going to sleep.

FWIW, we had SWMBO's MG5 in for its 4th service (4 years) and they changed the transmission oil. It's done less than 7k miles, should be good for another 4 years.

It was actually written on the steering lock/ign switch on some cars I've had.

Accessory mode, I'm surprised you didn't know that. ;)

Plastic bumpers flex and sometimes bounce back, the metalwork underneath doesn't. What does it look like under the floorboard ?

A 12V car battery has 6 cells that are 2.1V each, 6 x 2.1 = 12.6V. With the car on you are seeing the charging voltage, which can be as high as 14.2V or more, not the battery's resting voltage. Turn the car off, disconnect the -ve lead and check with a multimeter or if it's a second generation...

Mine does the same with YT music.

No problem, I was surprised as anybody when I found out the MG4 charged the 12V in ACC mode, having had a ZS before the 4 that didn't. 😉

Not true, as soon as you switch the car on (pre ready state) by sitting in the seat, the HV battery charges the 12V. Check the 12V voltage on the TPMS page, when it's charging it reads 13.9-14.2V. When not charging the 12v reads 12.6V or less, as can be seen in the app.

By fast I assume you mean rapid DC. The 12V is not charged up on a DC charger as it is on AC. So if you're sat in the car with accessories on then you're draining the 12V. It shouldn't be a problem if your 12V is in good condition. Those warning lights should go off if you get out, turn the car...

The battery is forward of that shield.

TBH, it could've been running when he took the reading as he has the meter set on hold. 😉

ISTR someone saying the beam is almost flat and symmetrical so no need.

-ve terminal disconnected ?

12.88V seems a bit high, a fully charged battery should read 12.6V. (cheap meter ?)

The air flow in Auto is adjustable in one of the menus, high medium or low IIRC.

Mine took about 25 minutes to update, I would have left it a bit longer.

Mine needs to be set to at least 26C to get any heat at all out, I use 27C and fan speed 5 or 6 then drop it back to 26C when the cabin has warmed up a bit. I find the quickest way to get the heat flowing is to use the front demister for a few minutes then turn it off, leaving the above settings.
