- ZS EV Trophy
I have a 2024 (73) MG ZS EV Trophy connect SR. I bought it in August and it's been back to the dealer twice so far for faults (only 1 out of 4 were fixed), about to go in again to fit a part ordered for steering knock issue.
At the weekend I did a 145 mile journey in the evening (just made it, with 12 miles to spare) but on the motorway I noticed my high beam randomly flashing, only for about half a second about once every 1 to 10 minutes (not regular intervals). Yesterday I was driving in the dark and again my lights randomly flashed, so much so that the car in front stopped, the driver got out and started waving his arms about at me. Then I started getting beeps and messages saying "Front Camera Blocked". Aha, I thought, that must be it, the system must use the front camera to detect other vehicles, so I got out and wiped the front camera, which seemed clean anyway. Still my high beam was flashing and the camera blocked messages kept appearing. So that's 2 more things to add to my list when it goes back to the dealer.
Has anyone else had this?
As a side note, I'm looking in the manual so see how to operate/turn off the auto high beam. It's gobbledegook and clearly the MG documentation QA person was on holiday that week.
