Hello Pete. Ok you've turned off smart charging & that is correct if the charger is listed as the first device. Mine is the same. You can now equalise in the correct way to 100% without Octopus switching off the charge as soon as the battery hits100%. As smart charging is now switched off...

The main thing that's changed Tim is the dreadful state of our roads. They haven't been this bad for decades in most parts of the UK. That's what the AA/RAC say. Wheel, tyre & spring damage is at an all time high. That's all makes of car. None of them are immune! Have you not seen the news...

So we're yours breaking at or near the very ends Tim? That IS where nearly all springs usually break. No matter what cars they are on. It's not because they are formed "more cheaply". Look at the springs on Mercs, BMW, Lexus & they are formed the same. Or mostly. If you flatten them, something...

That's a very good point Tim. It isn't just MG, It's all makes of car. The number of springs breaking is at an all time high. It isn't because manufacturers are cheaping out on quality of their springs. That would be not just dangerous but stupid to the highest degree. It could lead to massive...

Most cars in general lose around 50 to 55% of their value in 3yrs. So 66% isn't too bad at the 4th yr. Ask for a discount off the final balloon payment if that is a lot more than the cars actual value. Some on here have managed to get one.

Quite a few are caused by diesel vehicle regen cycles. Some are caused by active petrol particulate filter cycles. Often not fuel leaks but those do account for some. Electrical fires are big on the list. So varied causes.

Tom, that might be too many 'well well well's'! :ROFLMAO:

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.
