As someone has suggested(another MG discussion place), it would be helpful if we can document the range of VIN numbers and manufacture date to see how widespread this issue is.

Thanks for the information guys. I hope never have to go through something like this but who knows 🤔

Please keep us updated. Just wondering why Monday? I would have taken it there straight away😮‍💨

Welcome to our cousins across the ditch. Congratulations to your car which happens to be the same colour as mine👍

I'm with you on this. I still keep my ICE turbo car and take it out every now and then. Still enjoy that roar of the motor couple with the turbo swoosh between gears. But the MGS5EV just as swift with that linear power delivery that up to speed without one noticing😀

I have successfully installed the Blackvue front and back dashcam connecting to a external Blackvue battery (see photos) which is connected to the 12V cigarette plug permanently in the middle compartment. Contrary to popular belief, this outlet isn't permanently on, as I have the Blackvue...

Thanks for the data off trick. I haven't got the car with me this weekend. Been watching all the reports of infotainment issues all over the net on different platforms. I will find out if I too have this issues later. But I did have issues with syncing with Home Assistant over the last 24 hours...
