    13A fuse blowing on MG4 Trophy granny charger plug.

    I'd be questioning the quality of the wiring to the outlet you are using.

    Granny Charging

    Please DON'T use a smart plug with a Granny Charger. They may be able to do so for a couple of charges, but when they fail, boy beware !!!

    New MG parts warehouse for UK

    It wasn't Nigel's action that resulted in the mess of Brexit, it the successive governments which failed to take advantage of the freedoms gained.

    Preconditioning the battery

    Not really worth pre-heating the battery when charging on AC, as you will/may use more electricity to pre-heat than you gain in charging speed from charging a cold battery. Benefits are mostly when DC charging.

    Broken Parcel Shelf 😢

    I'd drill a very small hole in both first and insert a steel pin before gluing.

    My ZS won't charge at more than 30 kW on the DC terminals. Where to find the firmware version ?

    Max is around 76kW, but app depends on the chargers network loading. You'll need to try other chargers.

    cruise control question

    The number of false positives we have had in other than motorway conditions , re: the car emergency braking, means that is the only condition in which we use ACC.

    Tomato Energy

    When something appears to be too good to be true, it normally is. Makes my sticking with British Gas look like a good move 🤣 .

    Wireless phone charger (MGS5 EV)

    I found the same on the ZX TLR, the rubber mat is too thick... solution is use a cable or a MagSafe puck.

    A NOT SO short update on our British Gas Hive EV charger installation.

    And I guess this may just cap off our 2 1/2 year journey with BGas and their Hive EV charger (Alfen S-Line), which I have to say has been 95% reliable since October'23. 1st October the charger went off-line (reliant on internal SIMs card, no house wifi connection) I contacted Hive help and was...

    Charging issues

    This is an old issue with the ZS EV. On occasions I have had to un-plug and plug back in, or even remove the 12v battery negative terminal for 10 minutes. My current latest fix (which appears to work for now) is to set a charging schedule in the car, with percentage charge set to 80% this seems...
