My dealer Thompson of Stroud packed it in. Something to do with MG franchise showroom requirements I was told. Shame as was an excellent dealer. Have heard Howard’s were very good.

Ask for a print out of the service sheet and anything they do to have your own service history.

Life’s too short. I cannot take the pressure of dealing with useless customer support. Will get my own back when I choose my next car. Having said that I do like my TCLR.

They play silly buggers with the updates. I was told that updates at first service in July 2023 for my TCLR would not cover Tesla compatibility.. As posted before paid £120 for official guaranteed Tesla compatible update that does work without hassle.

Thanks for the info.👍

Thanks for anti rattle tape suggestion for the tweeters. On the Mk2 how do I remove the interior lights/sunroof panel for anti rattle treatment. I have trim tools but not sure where to start?

The left and right hand tweaters in the A pillar can often need fitting with anti rattle tape. The overhead interior light cluster can also contribute to the problem. The windscreen wiper plastic panel that makes contact with the glass is another potential cause.

My Sept 2022 mk2 had this until it had first service at 15,000 in Sept 2023. Software updates cured this anomaly.

It’s not just MG from what I have seen on other forums. The cost of a decent Bosch battery will pay for itself in the coming years by not having to visit the dealer.

I have done the same with success. Also poked a few pieces of anti rattle tape into the grill behind the front windscreen camera (above rear view mirror) this got rid of a subtle rattle. Finally I put some of the same tape around the tailgate bottom latch point, this got rid of odd creak/rattle...

I respect your decision to change but feel it is coloured by your general attitude to EVs. My MG TCLR is not the best out there but it is good value. i charge at home on Go at 9.5p except when away from base on long journeys. If I am caught short at home and charge during the day to top up it...

ZS EV mk2 intermittent creak/rattle somewhere in back of car interior. After eliminating seatbelt buckles and rear seat fixings I have just tried putting some anti squeak/rattle tape around the tailgate catch bar ( the metal post revealed when you push in the sprung plastic cover). My...
