So having returned from our holiday and the car being parked on the street for 3 weeks, here is what happened:
1) The app worked fine for just over one week. I think it was 8 days. I could see the car and locate the car when opening the app, do a check, but after that the app refused to connect. We were in southern Europe. I kept getting the message "failed to connect" but the AirTag in the car did its job and was always updating, probably because people with iPhones kept walking passed the car. I guess the disconnect between the car and the cloud services of MG may have happened automatically to preserve the battery, maybe?
2) Batteries were both fine. The main battery was left at 58% and when we returned, it was still at 58%. The 12V battery was fine, car started as normal, so clearly no worries leaving it for 3 weeks without starting.
3) The bird poop was horrendous... Had to take it for a serious wash. I think next year I may invest in a cover (of course the issue there will be.. how we we hose down the pooped hood cover, but that is a problem for another day) If anyone has any suggestion of where to purchase one, please reply!
