When replacing tyres, consider the wet grip and fuel efficiency. Generally better fuel efficiency leads to worse wet grip. In independent testing the difference between the best and worst tyre for wet grip was 46m stopping difference. Each grade of wet stopping distance equates to 2 car lengths...

The large gap between the bonnet and converter could be because the front of the car is designed to take and ICE engine. If it was designed as an EV, would the bonnet be lower? Would the equipment be arranged differently to allow a larger battery pack? Converting an ICE car leads to a...

I might agree with you, if it wasn't for the fact that the ZS was designed as an ICE and has had an EV system retro-fitted. What changes have been made to the car to compensate for the EV system. Zero that I can see.

Interesting, but why does your profile picture look nothing like the picture of you in the media? Just makes us all suspicious of the story. Maybe provide an update, how's the car driving now?

Why would you want to charge to 95%? The charge rate drops after 85%, so quicker to charge to just over 80%, then stop and charge again later. Really don't understand why anyone sits on the charger trying to get to 100%, takes far to long. My brother does this regularly in his ID5 and on a same...

Took mine to dealer last Friday as NSF door not opening about once a week. They have done an adjustment, but said if not fixed they would order a new lock. Now fails to open every other time it's tried. New lock on order.

Disappointed that my new ZS TLR has an intermittent issue with the NSF door. Booked in for next Friday, but expecting hassle as it is intermittent. Sometimes doesn't open even after switching off and unlocking, so have to walk round the car to open from the outside.

Maybe they expect the heat from the halogen to dry them out. :LOL:

Picked up the car yesterday and thanks to the info provided on here and video from N2STY, we confirmed we had the latest software.

Perfect, thanks.

Hi, Picking up my ZS T LR on Friday and have requested that the latest software and maps are installed. But, what is the latest versions and how do I check? Thanks in advance.

We currently have a Leaf (till next Friday) Having a Type 2 is not an issue, it's what we have. The Leaf came with a Type 2 to Type 1 cable which we found a bit short, so bought a Type 2 to Type 1 adapter to go on the end of our 7m Type 2 lead.

Just had confirmation that my car is at the dealers (Howards Taunton) and I'm collecting next Friday. LR Trophy in blue. Still don't understand why I'm getting my car after 10 months wait when others seem to have been waiting over 12 months.

For the LR I would go further and say if your normal use is only 15%, charge to 60 or 70%. The higher you charge the quicker the battery capacity will degrade with the LR battery chemistry.

That's my point, this wouldn't happen in normal driving with the mod, as you would lift your foot off the pedal slowly, not take it right off as in the video. So minimal additional strain on the bearings. There isn't extra time using regen as there seems to be little differance between ACC with...

Unfortunately, the supplier doesn't ship to the UK, wonder why? Has anyone in the UK ordered a boot liner and can provide a link?

Yes, understand that, my query was why using the hack could cause failure of the motor/regen system. Given that it duplicates normal driving without ACC. The only differance I can see from normal driving is that it can bring the car to an almost complete stop without using the brakes. I can't...

That's not with ACC, that's normal driving and lifting off the pedal to stop the car. It's done to show how quickly you can stop the car. In normal driving you would lift your foot slowly and the regen wouldn't activate as strongly. This is the benefit of one pedal driving and probably the only...

I don't follow the logic here, what is the difference between driving the car with this hack and not using ACC. Every time you lift off the accelerator to slow back to the speed limit the regen will activate. The system should be designed assuming that the driver never uses ACC, as several...

The mod as shown in the video instructs the regen before the car would normally apply th brakes. The brake pedal still functions fully and uninterrupted. This is why the speed keeping going downhill is better with the hack (regen) than with the MG system. The regen command goes on the canbus at...
