    Expensive knock (radar unit damaged)

    Mine came loose off the bracket last year. Stopped working and got warning bongs. I gaffer taped it in place and drove, started working again. Did this several times when the tape lost its stickiness. Obviously I got it fixed correctly back in place in time but my point is I’m not convinced on...

    ISmart Binding

    Hi all, I had this issue when I first got my 2023 plate ZS EV. I factory reset the head unit, which in turn then brought up the QR code at the beginning of set up to bind the car. I was able to bind it to the app and since have had no issues. Maybe worth a try?

    Is ismart always this useless

    Hi all, I've found that clicking the second button along at the bottom and performing a 'scan' of the car usually fires the rest of the app (lock/unlock, heater etc) into life. It's of course a pain as you have to wait for the scan, but I've got into a habit of doing that and 9 times out of 10...

    Burning smell

    Haha, yes how did you know! Yeah funny enough I don't mind the smell, reminds me of the old days. I've been plugging mine in every night and trying to forget about how much the cold weather impacts on range. I've only got the standard range too.

    Burning smell

    Yes, mines the same (MG ZS 2023 facelift), and it does it even if I've been driving previously. It's only on start up and only with the heater on. It certainly does smell like burning dust (like the old electric heaters used to). I'd love to know what it is. Most certainly related to the HVAC...

    Problems connecting newly purchased used car to iSmart

    Hi all, I had the same issue with ZS EV 2023. I factory reset the head unit and the qr appeared and I blinded to the iSMART app with no issues. I’d try a factory reset of head unit first. Best regards.

    MG ZS Steering Fault - clicking when turning

    Hi, My ZS EV Facelift had the exact same issue. Dropped it into MG, they investigated and replaced a component (in less than a week, no hassle). Clicking gone now and it certainly makes a difference in terms of enjoying driving the car. My advice is to take it to MG and tell them about the...

    Recommendation for tyres on ZS EV

    Hi everyone. Any recommendations from experience for new tyres for ZS EV facelift? My Maxxis have worn quickly so looking to replace all 4 now with better ones. Thanks for any input.

    12 volt battery replacement query

    Ah great. Yes not sure about the tray. I did have to slide it under a lip at the back with a little bit of force, not much. Other than that it’s was a perfect fit. Let us know how you get on.

    12 volt battery replacement query

    Hi, I bought a Bosch S5A05 a couple of weeks ago for my 2003 ZS facelift. Fits perfectly and working well, although I haven't really noticed an improvement in the standing voltage (i.e. HV battery not running) from this and the factory fitted SIAC one. Hope this helps!

    Tyre wear

    Yeah I checked them when I got it back. They are low all round (back's I'd say are on around 5mm) :(

    Tyre wear

    No not at all, just normal driving - I rarely even put it in sport mode. I do a bit of motorway as a commute each day. Can't work out why they are so low other than maybe the brand isn't that good.

    Tyre wear

    Morning everyone, I had my car's first service this week. It's done a little over 8k miles and the two front tyres came up as an advisory at 3mm wear each. Just wondering how other's have faired on here as I wasn't expecting as much wear. My tyres are the factory supplied Maxxis Bravo. Is this...

    MG ZS Trophy Connect - No data but has mobile signal?

    Hi, thanks for your thoughts. Yes I agree, this is what I'm starting to think might be the issue. I wouldn't say I've used the data extensively, but I do have my two children using the hotspot for their iPads so maybe I have? There isn't any literature or information online regarding any...

    MG ZS Trophy Connect - No data but has mobile signal?

    Hi all, Sorry I know this has come up in the past, but from what I can read it's not the exact same issue. I've got a ZS trophy connect. It always shows a good 4G signal and for the last 2 months I've had good connectivity via this 4G signal. Yesterday the data stopped working - It still...

    Mode change button not working

    Hi, thanks so much for your reply. Yes I did factory reset via the head unit (multimedia display). Is the an option to factory reset the actual car itself? I couldn’t find any options online, other than to disconnect the battery. I’m sure it’s software related as when I looked at how the switch...

    Mode change button not working

    Hi everyone. I hope this question is in the right forum. I picked up a 2023 ZS EV TROPHY last week and when I test drove it, the mode button (sport, normal, eco) was working. Since I got it home it doesn’t change mode any longer. When I start the car it will default to either sport or normal...
