If you have neighbours with WiFi within range of your house, and your system was marginal before, it would only take a small change on their system to affect yours. Unfortunately, modern WiFi devices change which channels they're transmitting on, on a regular basis, so these problems can come...

It all sounds very similar to what my sister went through a couple of weeks ago with a different make of charger. The installer came back, tried everything he could on the controls, then cut his losses and hardwired a connection via the outside of the house. He was done in no time and the...

Something in the back of my memory says autohold is always on when OPD (one pedal driving) is enabled. If true, then any of the following may throw some light on the subject: When the fault occurs, enable OPD and see if the autohold lamp turns on, or autohold starts working. Use OPD all the...

After weeks with no problems and then not being driven for a week, today even an hours drive didn't fix it. And to no ones surprise, the battery disconnect did fix it 🙄. As an aside, after the disconnect and reset procedure, all the errors disappeared just by turning off on the pull down menu...

The UK version of the app is definitely buggy (and poorly designed), but as long as you use the car regularly, the issues can normally be worked around with the odd refresh or two. The main irritation is if it is not used for 'a few days' it can go in to a deep sleep mode, which needs the car...

The ones I have seen, do it by switching the video signal that connects to the display panel via a little box of electronics. So when in reverse, the video feed comes from the camera, otherwise the video comes from the cars normal output. The cable has 4 cores and could be a digital signal...

That's expected behaviour for an SE, but assuming you have a trophy or X power something is definitely wrong.

With the flap open I think it is very easy. There is a black plastic tab on the inner side of the flap which pushes in and allows the outer skin to slide off in the direction away from the hinge. How people managed it with the flap frozen shut is less obvious. A bit of experience and judicious...

I was sat in the car while waiting for about 90 minutes today, and managed to turn it on at least 5 times 🙄. If I do anything about it, I'll probably interrupt one of the wires to the seat switch with a rocker switch on the centre console somewhere, which will leave it working as normal most of...

That sounds like similar behaviour to mine. When stopped I've seen various power levels reported, both positive and negative. Obviously a continuous negative power when stopped is nonsense, and after watching it change more closely as I came to a stop, decided it simply doesn't update the...

Mine used to do this a lot, but after one of the app updates, it is now rare and usually only after a couple of days being idle. I found that when it happened, if you ask the app for the status before sitting on the seat to power it up, the 12V battery was typically 12.1 or 12.2 V compared to...

I wasn't referring to your calculation. The bit I think is problematic is mostly how MG calculate the energy used. If they work off the difference in battery voltage each time, they are measuring tiny differences in voltage which are prone to many different types of error e.g. the various...

My gut feeling is that the main reasons for the discrepancy you're seeing will due to the measurements and calculations done to provide the accumulated distance and accumulated kWh per 100km that you're using. As a user, teasing apart how much error is in each figure could be quite challenging...

I've always found the dedicated demist button under the infotainment screen works very quickly. I assume it sets all the settings (blower direction, speed, heat and recirculation) to the most efficient for demist. A second press should revert to the previous settings I think. I would check it's...

There's a slight chance that clearing the cache (from Android or within the app), could reset it enough to fix the problem without needing a phone signal or WiFi. Worth a try. Clearing the data from settings should be the same as uninstall/ reinstall, but not helpful here as you would then...
