How did you disengage the horn Dave…… Don’t suppose you could show a video of that?

Hi there hope your well and safe. Just watched your video on your mg zs ev. I was horrified about your problems with your mg how's are things going now. I've just got an mg5 and very pleased with it but will keep a keen eye on any rust problems. Kind regards Mark

Interesting videos , I’ve been looking past couples if days at buying a 19 plate at around 12k I wondered why they were cheap, the under protection and rust is shocking ! And the electrics don’t do it any favours , are you all sorted now ? Did they repair the car ?

White Dacia dusters had corrosion issues too strange that, it sounds like there's an issue with the fuse box or loom

Basically you made a video about parts of the saying they where not designed for uk winter. Well no manufacture designs for uk winters period silly statement. You then went to talk about suspension structure where you said again not design for uk and would rot through without any evidence without consulting vehivle corrosion data etc ok you purchased a car with issues You could reject the vehicle as unfit and of poor quality But you left no method of comment on that video. About your dubious corrosion theories. Most people give cars a good water jetting off after abd before winter so your mud trap would be cleaned anyway. Again you make reliability comments about landrover. Well we all know that landrover are not reliable. There is many years of evidence that tells us landrover build quality had been extremely poor well into the mid 2000s. So the range rover yourvare sat in has huge historical well documented corrosion issues tail gates rear wheel arches, doors floor pan etc. Electrical issue ecu failure well documented . You have 1 vehicle with issues it not conclusive nor are you being totally truthful. Yes you got issue with your one car we had 4 new defenders go back in 3 months but i cannot say there are less or more reliable because there not enough data. I own a 20 year old vauxhall omega it not rusting it not let me down where my insignia last 3 day before a major failure took it off the road for 10 week but i cannot my the 20 yr old omega's are more reliable. Can you see you neec to be more evidence. You have a MG Warrants the metal body panels of your new MG car against perforation due to corrosion, which is the direct result of defects in material or manufacturing process. Perforation is defined as corrosion or rusting through of a body panel on the vehicle from the inner surface, to the outer surface (resulting in a hole). A 7 years anti-perforation warranty applies to the MG ZS from the date of registration. Which checked by deal at annal inspection. But remember car are design for a maxium life of 10 years they are dispposible products. What you point out is common on mist modern car my 9 rav4 hads similar staining in the past volvo and mazda and landrover all had similar what your pointing out is normal for many brands especially budget brands like mg Dacia suzuki etal.

Did you ever get all the problems sorted?

It makes you think about what you spend your money on.

Interesting to see under the MG, you can see they did the battery pack as cheaply as possible, there was a huge unused space left where the fuel tank had been. The MG was top of my list, second hand, if I do go that way I will take a good look underneath, especially being in Scotland

I think your car got corona

A pity, it looks such a nice and useful car. But how frustrating !! clearly useable in its present state. Hope u get it back - in fully working order - soon. ( I was looking at the MG and at the RR back catalogue and wondering which might be the better buy.... your ‘adventures’ with yr MG certainly push me more towards the older vehicles...). Thanks.

Sounds to me like they should "just" be giving you a brand new car at this point.

Love the rangy, from a time when range rover were still a half decent car, though the gearstick was prone to snapping, I ended up just attaching a pair of mole grips to mine at one point between repairs 😂 Shame about the issues with the MG, I have seriously been considering one. Those rust areas are all too common on modern day cars sadly.

Makes you wonder if with the storms we experienced flooded storage grounds when stood

Hi Dave. Got a surprise, when seeing your KZbin video about the corrosion on the Mg zs EV. was considering buying one. not now Stay safe Best wishes Alistair Moss

It’s looks like you got a lemon. That said I was close to buying one but I think I’ll just watch this space for a while first. There’s lots of new brands appearing on the scene now

hi why did you turned off the comments for under the car video. I am so happy that you are showing problems that the MG ev is having the underside of the car seems to have very poor protection it may be an idea if you own one to do your own underseal protection. would or should you expect a car to show any rust at that age ??

Obviously, I can see you are unhappy: but rather than rubbish the brand and reduce the value of the MG car for the rest of us, why not just sell it and move on to some other car?

look at this product Lanoguard..., also state of this 8mnth old car...way way worst than MG kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5LagGuej55-rKc

Oh dear me. There we all were, thinking, "MG is back!" It seems as if the build and R&D quality hasn't moved on since it went bust the last time. The stuff that's gone wrong on this one is design flaws. These are a carry-over from the ICE version and ought to have been designed out of the EV version. Water in the electrics? That's unforgivable in the modern age, quite frankly. Underbody corrosion? Wasn't this thing dipped in zinc primer during the early build stage... like say a VW, a Fiat, a Vauxhall or EVERY other car out there? This is deeply troubling and the Chinese manufacturers need to take swift action to alleviate the issue.

He didn't stand on your car at all. If he had done, it would have moved. He uses the fence support like the other policeman. Nice try!!
