I had a catastrophic failure of the car (FL MG5 Trophy) on Saturday and had to be recovered home. Because it was bank holiday weekend there was no one open until Tuesday morning. MG assist picked up the car at midday and took it to Apple MG. I had been warned that some of the mechanics were on...

The regen setting doesn't change how the car uses regen when you press the brakes. It only affects what happens when you take you foot off of the throttle. I try and remember to do some enthusiastic braking every time I charge the car to 100%. If the electricity hasn't got anywhere to go the car...

Thanks for the prompt reply. I got recovered to home (SE London) eventually so I'll try my own dealer when they open on Tuesday.

I'm waiting for mg assist to recover my mg5 from the M2 and I'm wondering where to get recovered to.

It doesn't cover everything but it might be worth getting Zapmap and using Zappay as an alternate method of paying.

On my mg5 the app always says it has failed but it almost always worked. If I refresh the screen it has changed the target percentage.

use the mg website to get a service plan estimate. It will ask reg number and mileage and tell you what you need.

Interesting, thanks. Only an hour's drive for me and my current dealer (MG Apple) is already 30 mins away. I might give them a try for my next service.

Who is the dealer - it might be useful to know a dealer that has good battery knowledge.

Moving house can certainly take over your life. Make sure you let us know on here if you get round to getting them changed by MG and want to sell them on. I wouldn't leave it too long before approaching MG - they do seem to like trying to wriggle out of warrantee claims.

Did you ever get rid of these wheels? I'm still looking for one.

Seems like a difference between the ZS and the MG. My MG 5 works fine with the car off.

My experience is that it does change it but the app doesn't report that it has changed it.

I'm fairly sure that you are going to need a dealer visit - you've tried a hard reset. If you want to do some more troubleshooting then it would be interesting to see if a DC charge would now work. It would also be interesting to see if V2L was still working because it sounds like the problem is...

It probably hasn't had the Tesla update done and I doubt that you would be able to update it as it is the standard range model. No harm in trying once you get it though. As others have said, charge the car while you are doing something else. Find a supermarket you like that has a bunch of...
