    Intermittent Radio (switch on at start)

    Most of the time it's ok, I get the normal radio graphic with a channel on it and the source, play and channel buttons work as you describe. But look at the picture above - do you ever see that weird radio picture? When that picture is shown on the screen then none of the touch buttons work...

    Intermittent Radio (switch on at start)

    I frequently get this when I start the car. The touch Play button does nothing, neither does the source touch arrows on the top or the channel buttons either side of Play. The only way I can actually get to the radio to come on is by pressing the Source button on the steering wheel, which is a...

    Finger print, it will get a fist print in a minute :=((

    When my car went in for a warranty fix I asked them to update the software and maps. Mine is a Jan 2024 Trophy Connect, yet the maps were 2022 and I knew that 2023 maps were available. They told me that dealers don't do map updates, they have to be done by owners (despite no instructions in any...

    Range loss in Winter

    123 miles for a 51kWh battery (I think around 49 usable) looks like 2.5. The number on the instrument panel varies with each journey.

    Range loss in Winter

    Mine is a 2024 Trophy standard range. On MG website it says range 198 miles (279 miles in slow moving traffic-yeah, sure) and most info says that in winter that can typically degrade by 10-20%. I go to my office about once a week which is 62 miles away, so should comfortably get there and back...

    MG ZS EV - MG guidance for charging in Winter months

    Thanks for that - I'll use it in future when it's a cold morning.

    Considering a ZS EV

    Well, I'll probably differ from many of the posts above. I bought my 2024 Trophy Connect in July, so had it nearly 6 months so here's my 2p worth: In my opinion, the UI was designed by an 18yo intern who has never driven a car. It's probably the worst I've seen in a long time. The touch takes...

    MG ZS EV - MG guidance for charging in Winter months

    Really? I have a Jan '24 Trophy Connect and can't see such a setting in the app. I can start the window demister or the A/C but can't see anything about battery heater or even battery temperature.

    MG ZS service- being ripped off?

    I haven't had to service mine yet, but I thought EVs were minimal servicing costs, supposedly one of the reasons for buying. I paid less than £400 to get my Mercedes E220D Convertible serviced with oil and filters etc.

    2.gen front USB-A on at strange times

    Doesn't this negate the reason for having a wireless dongle? If you have to plug it in each time you get in the car, then may as well just plug the phone in. I had one of these wireless dongles for a while and had similar issues + it was temperamental so I just bought a short cable. I still find...

    Warranty still valid? - Bought 2022 ZS EV with no proof of first service

    That's made me wonder about my status. I bought mine as an ex-demonstrator at 6 months old in July from Hendy. I insisted they did a service before I picked up the car, and just checking my documents I haven't got any record of that service. In the sale documents, on the vehicle details section...

    How To Charge To 80%

    With the type of battery in the ZS EV you can charge to 100% with no issues. Other than that, with Octopus Entergy and a compatible charger (mine is a Zappi) you can just tell Octopus to add x% and it works the rest out for you and creates a charging schedule at cheap rate (7p) and delivers the...

    No Heat coming from vents, MK2 zs ev

    I get very little heat from mine while driving. In other cars I always have the climate set to 19 or sometimes 20. I felt cold the other day so set my MG to 24 and it didn't get any warmer. If I use the windscreen demister that blows hot air ok, but it's very noisy so don't want that on all the...

    VOICE COMMANDS MG ZS EV TROPHY 2024

    I have a Jan 2024 Trophy ZS EV Connect standard (no sunroof), which has voice commands. I saw that list quite some time ago and excitedly jumped in the car to try them out. However, it hardly recognises anything I say. I feel like this I talk to all my Google home devices a lot and they very...

    Steering wheel - peeling/flaking "leather".

    Isn't that covered by the 7-year warranty? Looks to me like a material failure. Here's the warranty statement. They might argue that the steering wheel material is a ‘wear and tear’ item but personally I wouldn't expect the seat or steering wheel materials to be included in that. What do others...

    MG ZS Long range Efficiency

    Have you tried actually getting that range? My standard range model regularly shows 190 miles on 100% charge, but on a 140 mile round trip driving very conservatively (all <60mph, most at about 40mph) I regularly arrive home with single digits remaining.

    Auto Beam Randomly Flashing High

    Isn't this an odd way round to do it? In most cars with an automatic headlight mode, when you have dipped headlights they stay dipped and when you put the lights on high beam they get dipped automatically. This is the first car I've seen which automatically uses high beam when you have it set to...

    MG ZS Steering Fault - clicking when turning

    I notice most of the pictures on here show the pre-facelift model; I'm not sure my problem was exactly the same in my 2024 ZS EV Trophy. I had a clonk only when turning right, I haven't had the machine-gun type noises. Anyway, I took the car in to get it looked at (among other things) under...
