    Are dealer servicing charges over expensive?

    My ZS goes in for its 3 year service next month and I've been told up front it will be £364.34. 1 Can any of you wiser and more experienced than me tell e what the dealer does that costs so much? 2 And is 'main dealer service' a precondition of the car/battery guarantees? 3 Where should I...

    AI and beating a PCN: it could help you - have a read

    I used GPT4 to help me get two PCNs (parking control notices) cancelled. The hard-hearted people at Dart Charge (Dartford Crossing) where you have to remember to pay when you get home dinged me unfairly (I had grounds) and rejected my appeal; at the time the 2 PCNs added together had escalated...

    Is 'battery heating on' setting in 'charging' important and if so why?

    Hi fellow ZS EV owners. I was adjusting the times for scheduled charging yesterday when I came across an unchecked setting which from memory read 'Battery heating on' - might have said always on. Anyway, who can shed light for me please?

    MG ZS LR 22 plate at a home with 6.6Kwh of solar panels and a smart meter, 'old' (2020) PodPoint charger 7Kwh but not compatible with Octopus. I see Octopus offer a choice of 4: Zappi, Hypervolt, Ohme Home Pro and Ohme Epod. (we also have a 70 plate Renault Zoë) Before I blow a grand I'd be...

    iSmart lock out: then suddenly there's this

    I've been 'locked out' of the iSmart app since June (ZS EV LR 22 plate) with 'token expired' msg leading to 'bind vehicle' on the app which is already bound and leaving me high and dry. UNTIL YESTERDAY I got a new message that promises things.. New features in the app one of which provided me...

    Auto tyre pressure reading MG ZS: does it sometimes go wonky?

    My 22 plate ZS EV is showing a tyre with lower pressure than there should be (error icon / flashing yellow on affected wheel), yet when I pumped it up it not only still shows the error but is 0.1 bar lower than before. Anyone else experienced this?

    Temporary spare wheel/tyre for ZS EV

    Any of you chaps know where I can get one and not break the bank? Last week I had a blowout that destroyed the tyre; the compressor/liquid goo was useless and I think for me one of thos thin-looking tyres will suit me better. Any ideas?

    Where is the UNBIND icon in the iSmart app?

    The icon looks like a broken chain-link - I can't find the damn thing anywhere. The ZS screen tells me it's in the app.

    Anyone else got screen problems on the LR ZS ev?

    Tell me your screen or app issues please. I'm soon to lock horns with the dealer for the first service on my 22 plate ZS LR and ask for a new screen. The car's been good, EXCEPT the total failurenof the app to connect to the car (I've tried everything) and I suspect the 'screen' / the computer...

    Can you chaps tell me who has the best INSURANCE deals for BEVs?

    I have contnued with LV that I used on my old ICE car, but the renewal premium on my 1 year old ZS Trophy LR is more than I think is reasonable and I wanted to ask the community where they get the best BEV-specific deals on insurance.

    MG iSmart has told me to bind the car - but how?

    Hi Forum. With no warning the iSmart app asked for passwords/log in and then said 'first you have to bind the car' - except being already bound since March when I collected it, there is no way in. Anyone with experience of how to rebind please help.

    I've got the MG Trophy manual onto a device I can actually read it on

    The manual: read on the car screen, - really? 327 pages? iPhone, impossible, and no search function. I went to the App Store, installed iSmart on my iPad 8th generation and loaded the manual (no search function did I say!) and for once, helpfully, the iSmart app allowed me to transfer the PDF to...

    What can I get as a private sale for my ZS EV Exclusive?

    Hi MG EV owners and addicts. I'm set on getting a 2022 75KwH model but offered pants p/ex by dealer - I've been hearing how the s/h car market is rising and rising - but what's your experience of the market for s/h EVs of the 45KwH variety? (20 reg, 3300m, Excusive). Thanks John

    Can the Podpoint charger app control the time I charge my ZS?

    It's about charging on cheap off peak elec rates when the MG doesn't have an app like other EVs. My Podpoint charger app seems to offer controlled charging times but has anyone 'out there' experience of it?

    Infotainment screen just died - what's your experience?

    Screen died tho' reversing camera pic still works. The infotainment screen has had it's odd moments in the 15m I've owned the MG ZS EV but suddenly died. It's in for a repair soon but I'd appreciate members' comments/experiences. Otherwise the car is a delight.
