I did all that. I've also had no problems with the dealer agreeing what's up. MG on the other hand have insisted on updating the car software (good, as it fixes ACC and LKA). MG made them replace the charging socket itself. They've then asked the dealer to reflash all the software. I'm now...

Get it into your dealer. Sounds like the same issue the rest of us are experiencing. Mine first went in on 29th April. MG are making the dealer jump through all sorts of hoops. The garage still have the car today. Although I do have a courtesy car (MG3).

I completely agree with your final paragraph. These cars are essentially computers on wheels and not having easily available updates for consumers to install, is really poor. Never mind dealers not having access to these either. In an emerging market of other EVs, MG will likely find this a...

Exactly the same experience as me. On the plus side though, at least your car gets the latest module updates as part of their trial and error!

Got to say again though, my dealer is fantastic. Great comms, great service and very willing to help and do things right. It would seem MG let dealers down with the way they do things.

Ah, OK! That makes sense....sort of! Hopefully all will be well in the morning. The tech is ringing me with an update tomorrow. I guess I'll then have to check the 80% charging this and make sure it does actually stop when told.

Mine was in today for the CCU replacement. Software updates done last week which didn't work, CCU done today. Apparently it's still not charging properly so they've kept it in. Waiting for next steps from MG. Hopefully it's just a software thing they need to apply or something post install...

I had a similar issue with mine. Not as far in distance as yours but I have a pukka MG dealer 4 miles from my house. They are not part of the Octopus salary sacrifice "fleet assist" network, the closest there being 20 miles each way. Octopus, to their credit, arranged with MG UK for my car to...

I'm right in the middle of having this specific issue fixed. My car went in on Monday this week and had the software updated (which cured a few unrelated issues, so I was pleased about that)! Unfortunately, it did not fix the issue. The dealer ordered a new CCU on Monday. They rang today to...

I've voted yes here. For the car itself, I'm very pleased (save the AC issues currently being sorted by the dealer). It drives well, it's well kitted out, spacious and generally easy to live with. In terms of the MG as a brand...I think they run the risk of alienating early customers of the...

I disable it as soon as I get in. Thought I'd give it a try after updates. It's a shame the system isn't clever enough to work out there are no markers and not make any corrections until there are.

To be fair, they rang about 445pm and said they'd just done the second update. I suspect they had issues getting them installed. They also don't have the part in stock. They don't need me to go back though, just ring and they'll order the part and let me know when they get it for fitting.

Mine went in to my dealer today for this issue. They updated the charging module which didn't fix it. Then updated what they called the instrument pack. Unfortunately, it still doesn't charge. Got home and it stopped after about 3 minutes. On the plus side, my ACC now goes up in 1mph increments...

Excellent. Good to hear it's been resolved. Was it just charging software updated or have other modules been done as part of it?

This AC charging problem seems to be getting more common.
