    Total loss of external lights whilst driving in the dark! - 12 volt battery failure indicator

    I'm no technician so I think I should get down to doing these checks (since the dealership hasn't volunteered to do so). Or just buy a battery, as you say...

    Total loss of external lights whilst driving in the dark! - 12 volt battery failure indicator

    It certainly feels like I've got a lemon. I've had it 2.5 years now.

    Total loss of external lights whilst driving in the dark! - 12 volt battery failure indicator

    Would the code be traceable (if there was one)? At the garage maybe?

    Total loss of external lights whilst driving in the dark! - 12 volt battery failure indicator

    I think there was bong but I would have missed any message (not able to read it quickly enough, even if I'd got over the shock quick enough to try!) It all happened v quickly, & unexpectedly.

    Total loss of external lights whilst driving in the dark! - 12 volt battery failure indicator

    Quite! I've had so many notifications for tyre pressure being low (by a smidge) :unsure:

    Total loss of external lights whilst driving in the dark! - 12 volt battery failure indicator

    Anyone lost lights whilst driving? I was driving in the dark (thankfully on a lit stretch of road) when my headlights & I think other external lights went out, & stayed out. I'm not sure what the dashboard indications were at the time (I had bigger things to think about - like seeing where I was...

    towbar on MG4?

    Hi, I'm wondering if there are any catches to avoid re fitting a towbar onto an MG4 (2023)? I'd like to use a rear bike rack & fitting it to a towbar seems to be a good option since the cradle-type ones don't seem to fit v well over the Trophy's spoilers. I've noted a post by NickT regarding a...

    total loss of power on a busy dual carriage way - I'm really scared it will happen again

    Thanks for your interest. It seems to me that every stage of diagnostics had to be referred to "MG" (be that SAIC or MG UK, I'm not sure). Despite sketchy updates I believe the garage have been waiting on feedback/instruction on at least 3 occasions before actually getting to the point of...

    total loss of power on a busy dual carriage way - I'm really scared it will happen again

    No, the garage is now waiting for approval from MG to carry out the fix under warranty. I can't see how it wouldn't be under warranty though 🤔

    total loss of power on a busy dual carriage way - I'm really scared it will happen again

    So after 3 weeks of diagnostics MG have determined that the drive motor needs replacing. I very much hope this is a reliable fix 🤞

    total loss of power on a busy dual carriage way - I'm really scared it will happen again

    Oh goodness. I was kind of of expecting to be back on a set of wheels this week, even be it a hire car. Following your post (and unsatisfactory engagement with the customer service team at the dealership - to quote them "it doesn't take seconds") it looks like I need to be prepared for a long &...

    total loss of power on a busy dual carriage way - I'm really scared it will happen again

    Don't blame you. I don't really want to drive mine again either. Strangely, when I started explaining to aftersales what had happened & the error messages that flashed up, they interrupted me saying "limited power?". It seems to me that these incidents are not rare :-(

    total loss of power on a busy dual carriage way - I'm really scared it will happen again

    Oh gosh - I suppose my question is "did it happen again" or has she got 50k miles out of it since without a repeat 🤔
