I had a hard time trying to unplug the car yesterday when going out, I couldn't get it to release the cable from the car end despite multiple lock/unlock attempts. I was able to disconnect the charger end, but the car was being rather stubborn about releasing the cable I'm beginning to wonder...

Was away from home last week had a few issues when charging, and now I'm not sure if it's the car or the chargers at fault 1) BP Pulse AC charger, failed to charge and caused system fault which required me to pull the 12V battery to reset - Although sounded like the locking pin was...

72 plate pfl LR, asked about update when serviced end of Nov was told there wasn’t one. Tesla chargers don’t work on my car

The faults usually clear after driving a few meters. I had to pull the 12v after a BP pulse A/C charger failed to charge the car and upset it (I’m wondering if I didn’t have the plug fully on as it sounded like the latch was having issues also came back later to find a Tesla charging fine on the...

- I wonder if it's worth trying to get into contact with this guy, he's been hacking a ZS EV charger to get it to work out of the car.

Makes me wonder if there are multiple revisions of the EVCC unit for the PFL, and it depends on which one you have as to if you can have a compatible software update.

I’d have expected a multi network IOT type contract but then again that still doesn’t necessarily mean all 4 networks are available as it will depend on what service plan they have. These usually work by having a foreign carrier sim profile and then using that carriers roaming agreements.

But they probably won't be able to do any software updates as they don't usually have access to the MG server(s) to download them from, also if you have the car serviced at an MG dealer you should get the MG assist renewed (AA here in the UK) for another year.

I think it is the cup holder on the pre-facelift.

You may have activated pilot fully, you’d also see the lane markings go blue on the display. On motorways It usually works quite well other than sometimes getting grumpy about keeping hands in the wheel if you don’t resist its wheel nudges enough. On normal driving I have the LKA In alert only...

Is it the traffic jam assist/auto follow part of the adaptive criuse control?

You do seem to need to set it quite high on the pre-facelift exclusive I have unless the cabin is particularly cold, not sure where they're measuring the internal temperature. It's something Björn Nyland often brings up in his youtube videos that he has to set the temperature a lot higher on...

Electroverse and Elli (free tier is fine) is worth having. The Elli card will often start the BP pulse A/C chargers you sometimes find in various car parks. (If the chargers are actually working that is)

I can't remember how long it needs to be held for, always feels like an eternity though.

If you hold the centre button on the volume control knob long enough it should trigger the infotainment to reboot. (I'm not sure if it will work if it's fully locked up but worth a try) I sometimes do it when mines being a pain about going into CarPlay.
