I think your dealer is badly informed, very busy or lazy. There are several glitches that a full software update will fix & some features that will be added. This is why there are updates. It is the dealers responsibility to administer these. You are entitled to these especially if the car is...

I cannot tell you exactly what extra features you will get by updating all of your software because I don't know what you already have. Given you are running R16 (the oldest software version) these extra features will likely be very significant. I know earlier cars such as yours have extra...

The main thing you want to check is the infotainments Telematics software version in the car settings menu (as hmadsen says). This will end (for example) with an 'R' number such as R19, R23 or R25 or various other numbers. My car, bought new in Jan 2025 had R25 software. With R25 the MG dealer...

When I do a battery balance at 100% charge my Trophy LR range in eco mode in ambient temp of 18c shows 317 miles. But I've seen 323 in warmer weather. At 80% charge I am currently getting 218 in NORMAL mode @ temps of 12c. That's with me previously driving it normally on dual carriageways at...

I think that's right BOB. I used to have a half decent OBD2 reader years ago. But I let that go when I retired, & it wouldn't have been any good on today's cars anyway. The thing that's more important it seems is the reliability of these devices. The cheap ones can be ok for some but not work...

Hi SKidr0w, I to intend to run my ZS EV for the next few years. I bought mine brand new in January. In the spring I went ahead & sprayed the most vulnerable areas under the car with Jenolite Waxoyl. It's better than the Finnigans Waxoyl in my opinion as it sprays really well from their aerosols...

As per the title, anyone using the VGgate iCar pro 3 or 4 OBDII reader? If not what are folks using please. I've searched on here but there doesn't seem to be much info. Any comments or advice about these readers will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi jmcguk, I've seen the reliability study but can say you don't need to worry about it. I'm presuming you will be buying a later model car, MK2 facelift? That's the better one to go for, but not disrespecting the MK1 as it's still a great car. But MK2 = better range, better most things. The...

My service schedule from my dealer states that a SOH battery check is standard. It will be carried out.

I seem to remember OTA being a small...ish selling point on the MG website. Although to be fair it actually said "OTA Ready', not that it will be receiving OTA updates...it was just ready for them presumably when MG was able or ready to do them. Is it something they are working towards...

That's a pretty good price Willie.

This is great news Peter. So pleased it is getting sorted. In reality this was always going to be the outcome even if the warranty had expired as the vehicle is covered by consumer law that would have provided a fix. That is of course after ruling out failure through abuse. Do let us all know...

Here in UK nearly all houses are single phase electrical supply so max (in practical terms) 7.2kw. You can be upgraded in most instances to 3 phase should you require it but for most folks it's just not needed or worth the extra cost. The Tesco chargers were DC I think. Never ever had the...

The torque steer on our E-Niros is a little disconcerting on the odd occasion. That's the downside of 201hp & a very sensitive throttle delivering instant power that doesn't let up as you barrel off down the road! :ROFLMAO: I find the ZS EV more controllable in that department but more than...

Interesting points being made by hmadsen. I remember quite a few of the Tesco supermarket free charging stations only being 22kw. That is most likely the issue here with the op's charging situations. Not sure he means free electricity or just that the chargers were not congested or in use.

Yes the Kona is a great car. We have my MG ZS EV Mk11 LR Trophy & 4 other EV's in the family. Two of them are E-Niros, very similar of course to the Kona, same motors & battery choices. I've driven the E-Niros & they are good but haven't driven the Kona. Both Niros are 3 & 5 yrs old. My MG was...

TBH, you'll soon see charging is just as easy or easier than refuelling with that highly flammable highly carcinogenic liquid call petrol (or diesel). Congrats on the credit card. If you could let me have the long number on the front of the card & the 3 security digits on the back I'd be...

I'm not familiar with your cars infotainment centre software. On the later models, the MK2 you can check the main Telematics system software version easily without an obd reader. The 'R' number denotes how up-to-date your car is. R19 is very out of date & R27 is very up to date, usually having...

I turned the sensitivity of the emergency braking down to its 'mild' setting & increased the distance between me & the car infront on the cruise control setting. It's now a pleasure to use with no more false emergency braking.

Never ever had any public charging issues ever, whether Tesla or any other charging brand. I would put the Tesla app on your phone though as it lets you use any open to all Tesla chargers not just the latest V4 units. All of them accepted whatever payment method I had chosen. Aside from debit &...
