That would be the idea, but of course the battery looks like a non-standard size 🤔

12 months for the battery! Why I wouldn't be keen on buying another.

Evening all. Looks like this cold weather has done for our 12v battery - after a week of the infotainment playing up, today the car was totally dead. Our neighbour kindly (especially as the AA aren't responding to homestarts today) gave us a jump, and when it came back to life I think it went...

Morning all, "Radio Module Disconnected" came up for us the other day, but it's still playing the last station selected. I've tried to update with the .bin file - but the bar doesn't move (Fat32, tried 2 sticks). Any ideas?

If you were to squirt something in to clean it out, I'd suggest a proper contact cleaner rather than regular WD-40. Something like Halfords Electrical Contact Cleaner 500ml | Halfords UK

Cheers for that. I did the first charge up to 100% the other day, but mistimed it so when I returned it just said something along the lines of "connected but not charging". I presume there's no way to check if its been balanced? Think it read 401v - forgot to take notes at 6am!

An aptly named model given my excitement yesterday 😁 Aftermarket mats hopefully arriving today (Hermes willing), mud flaps ordered off AliExpress and off to Global Tint on Saturday. Now just need to find somewhere to park it as the council have made a right Horlicks of the residents parking...

I do believe the battery lease scheme for new sales ended 2 years ago.

Good to hear, we're hopefully picking ours up tomorrow so may see you by one of the lamp posts... Do you mind me asking, can you do a battery balance at them or does it cut out? That's the only bit of info I haven't been able to find!

I did indeed do some research, mainly here and avidly watching the podcast (partly why we've given Pilot a miss due to only being warrantied for 36 months) - so thank you all! I confess I forgot to double check about the cable, I'll do so when they call. I did check that they'll include comfort...

Eek - just put down a (refundable) deposit under the Affinity scheme so the dealer can start to source an MG5 SR Excite in Dynamic Red... Bit nervous about it all as even at this price it still costs more than all the vehicles my better half and I have ever owned! Anything we should know...
