Yes indeed, notice I did say it might increase the risk of a fire, which of course might lead to one. But rarely will a petrol spill directly onto a hot engine cause a fire. Granted a spill onto a fully hot manifold might, but even that's not a given. And it's rare.

I think that was a sensible move.

Yes it might seem strange but petrol on a hot engine won't result in a fire. It might increase the risk of a fire but only if there are exposed high voltage electrics or a naked flame very nearby to hit the vapour. But you really need a spark to be sure it'll ignite. It's the flashpoint that's...

Be thorough when you look at the Stellantis cars. The Vauxhalls are troublesome as are the Citroen EVs. Neighbour had a Moka EV which spent weeks & weeks at the dealers being fixed but it never was. He got rid & bought a Ford Explorer EV. The Citroens seem to get 'teething' troubles over & over...

Why do you want to get your maps elsewhere? The procedure for updating is very straightforward & is listed in the owners manual for the car. The car has its own software program that takes care of this function. It doesn't take long to do. MG like mostly all manufacturers uses it's own bespoke...

It might have some truth to it. MG is one of the fastest growing UK & European car brands. Sometimes that can work against you. As tsedge says, it's probably just that some dealers or even UK MG didn't order enough cars.

Neither did mine, but after R27 it was smoother & Lane Keep Assist was considerably better. There are other advantages to. But if you are happy leave it as it is.

R27 makes your cars system far more robust fixing several minor issues into the bargain like the ACC issue. That's what I was told. But of course it's up to you. If you are happy as it is, then it's all good!

Your car is the same as mine except I'm in the UK. Here we are on R27 plus all the extra updates for every other computer module that R27 allows your car to see. On R25 your car cannot see any other updates, of which there are many. I cannot imagine it would be different in Germany. Might be...

Forgive me for jumping in. I'm not absolutely sure Susanna, but I think your car can go to R27. I base that on a chat with an MG tech who suggested R27 covers all ZS MK2 cars. I guess you will need to speak with your dealer just to be sure. Of course it may be your dealer didn't want to spend...

An interesting one this & a heads up. Last week I was returning home on a busy main road in torrential rain. That same road earlier was coping well with the rain, no flooding. However, after several hours of rain there were several areas along the way where there was some minor flooding. Not...

Yes, I think the ZS EV size is pretty good. Not too big but not a small car. It's a bit too tall for my garage so mine stands at the rear of my house behind locked gates on my driveway. I love the charge point being at the front. It's great if I need to charge at a Tesla charger as I can park in...

This sounds pretty reasonable.

It's interesting to note that the BMW story above isn't really making really big headlines (not that I've seen), yet even a single EV fire or even a hint of one creates panic & mayhem with petrol heads saying things like "I told you so, they're dangerous". Those folks also deliberately try to...

Not had this problem. Generally yes I would expect the warranty to cover this depending on age of the car. However, the 7yr warranty like many warranties is a depreciating one, meaning it covers less & less components as the car ages. So you need to check the cars manual to confirm if this is...

Everyday here in the UK an average of 305 to 310 petrol & diesel vehicles burst into flames either at home or on the roads. EVs are 80 times LESS likely to catch fire (source: The AA & RAC joint 2yr study).

Well, as the title suggests, this is about my experience with my new ZS EV bought January 2025. Not sure where the last year has gone, it's been a busy time. So, am I pleased with the ZS? Absolutely, yes I am. The car has been faultless except for a minor paint problem on the roof & bonnet...

Hi Everest, I use two methods. 1. I use the obd to interrogate the BMS. This gives a variety of info, as you will know. It will check battery current state of charge, amount of current that can flow, actual battery capacity, total cell voltage, individual cell voltage, equalisation of each cell...

You do need an MG/professional diagnostics tool to access the cars radar learning modules. Aside from that I'm not sure any codes are needed. I've done this on several cars over the years without needing codes but of course it's perfectly possible MG need them. Never done this on an MG. It is a...

The later ones are fine even at high mileage. They have better BMS. Just as an addon Paulie, we have 5 EV's in the family including my ZS & the Leaf. We have an E-Niro with 103,000 on the clock & 94% SOH. An ID3 with 88,000 & 97% SOH, an id4 with 60,000 & 98% SOH. All NMC batteries. Two friends...
