Will do. Yes, I'm hopeful it was a glitch but I am keeping the dealer appointment so they can have a proper check of the car. Thanks for all your input.

The 14.7 comes from the display when driving. The earlier 14.8V was the iSmart app. As I said, it was 12.8V last night when powered off. I assumed the converter kicked in overnight to boost the 12V?

Hi. No it wasn't. Just been for another drive and everything again seems to be a it should be. Running at 14.7V with no apparent issues.

Thanks. Last night after being powered off for a few hours after driving the app showed 12.8V which by all account is fine for a car that hasn't been powered for a number of hours. Just refreshed the app and it is saying 14.8V. Going for another test drive soon.

And now have just done a short 14 mile trip where you wouldn't have known there was any issues at all. All behaving as expected.

Hi. As an update, I can't get the car booked into the local dealer until 10th April for a diagnostic. The car did charge the following day on a schedule and at the moment the errors have cleared and the resting charge is showing 14.7 or 14.8V. Seems to keep flicking between the two and I've...

Cheers. I think I do have one so I can check. I'll look at the terminals although the mechanic didn't comment on any problems there when he checked the battery.

Hi and thanks for your reply. I don't have a battery booster and until today. the charge was often in the 14s. I haven't tried the disconnection yet, although when the battery was checked it would have been disconnected then.

Hi all Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere. I was driving my MG4 Trophy LR (73 plate) and noticed that the red battery light was on and the charge read 11.9V . It slowly discharged before I then got the 12V battery charge system fault warning. It kept going down until it reached 10V...

Thanks for the advice! It's not an MG dealer so will do.

Further update following my letter in which I firmly and factually stated my position. I had a reply this morning stating their surprise at the content. They wanted to confirm they are aware of the act and were not being underhand and simply proposing a way forward. I had offered them two...

Thanks. I've sent another formal letter based on legal fact, pointing out that it is irrelevant how potentially simple it is to fix (despite MG having not seen the problem), there is still a fault, acknowledged by them within the first 30 days of ownership and I'm exercising my legal right to...

Another update. The dealer is now disputing that not being able to charge on AC is a significant fault as MG think it could just be a simple software update to fix. Please do correct me if I'm wrong, but regardless of what the potential fix might be, not being able to charge at home is a...

That's exactly my thought. Who knows what MG will find and then how long it will take to sort out. They obviously want to do what is easiest and cosy effective for them, but that does me absolutely no good at all.

A further update. I gave the dealer access to the app to further their diagnostic two days ago. They said it had connected to charge and they would keep me updated. I heard nothing yesterday so asked for an update in writing. They came back today saying it was booked in with MG on 22/12. No...
