    Failed first MOT

    Sound advice. However, if you drive anywhere on the roads in Kent, potholes appear like measles spots and in wet weather, are not always apparent. Springs should not fail on cars of this age. My suggestion as before is to examine the failed springs for metal fatigue and ask for them to be...

    Failed first MOT

    I’ve had both rear springs break at separate times on my MGZSEV TROPHY CONNECT. Both replaced under warranty. It is a known fault with a batch of springs in 72 plate cars. If they refuse. Ask for the old springs back and have them tested for porosity. Make sure that it is your springs you get...

    I have an MG ZS EV registered Dec 2019. It's battery has now failed at under 22,000 miles . It had no service in 2021.

    I note that you said there have been no recent collisions. Have there been any previous collisions which may have resulted in battery damage?

    Hive EO mini 3 & MG4 charging issues

    I had an EO Mini Pro1 charger for my first MG ZSEV. It failed catastrophically after three years. There is NO support from EO and I was advised that it was now obsolete and irreparable. I took them to the small claims court and they settled the day before the case was due to be heard. Avoid EO...

    Rear shock spring failure LR Trophy

    I’ve had both springs go on our MGZSEVLR TROPHY. The first took nearly six weeks to get the parts (The at was three months old). The second went at one year old and was done within a few hours. It is a known problem with 2022 mo dels which had a bad batch of springs. Should be done under...

    Mg Zs Ev is very cold

    Are you in ECO MODE. If so, try in N. Might make a difference.

    What is this dash icon please.

    That is correct. You can alter it when you are in cruise control. Pull lever under the indicator once to set Cc. Press end of stalk to set speed. Then rotate 1/4 turn either direction to set the distance to the car in front. If you pull the stalk again LKA will be activated. This I do not recommend.

    So do you like your MG ZS EV?

    Had ours for two years now. Only problem has been two broken rear springs, at different times, both repaired under warranty. This seems to be a known fault in early Trophy LRs. Worth checking yours out. Don't know what an EVCC is. Did you mean EVAC? We've had no problems with ours and are not...

    Range loss in Winter

    I’m on second MGZS EV. Range drops dramatically in winter for many reasons. Battery temperature being the must relevant. Also use of heating: heated seats use very little. Cabin heating/cooling much more. Insignificant from other electrics (lights, radio, windscreen wipers etc). Don’t worry...

    Broken Springs

    Quoted around £176.00 for one. Don’t know if that included VAT or if it would be doubled for two.

    Broken Springs

    One went at just over 6500 miles, the next at 15000. Both now replaced. No quibble second one but first one was a hassle as garage said it was pot hole damage. Because I have some knowledge of metallurgy and pointed out porosity in the metal, they changed their minds. This garage has since gone...

    Broken Springs

    Just had another rear spring go on my Gen2 MGZSEV Trophy LR. Last one I had hassle to get it replaced under warranty and had to wait six weeks waiting time frame. This time it was replaced within two days. However only one can be replaced under warranty but mechanic has recommended replacing in...

    Range loss in Winter

    If you press the m/kWh button twice, it will show the miles per kWh over all of the journeys you have made since it was last re-set. That will be a more accurate indication of your overall energy use. This number will only alter slowly as the seasons or your driving style changes.

    Which at home charger?

    I’ve now got Zappi with solar divert. Unfortunately there’s been no solar to divert since I had it fitted🥴 Roll on brighter weather.

    Which at home charger?

    I’ve recently changed my EO charger (DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT GETTING ONE). Pls excuse capitals. I now have a Zappi charger which is compatible with my solar panels and battery pack. Only had it since January but it has been much more reliable than the EO before. ( Just in case you are foolish...

    Range loss in Winter

    I’m about the same 3.6 - 4.5 mi/kWh in summer. 2.6 in winter, i.e. 4°C or lower. 300 + miles in summer. 180-210 in winter depending on overall temp.
