I had this problem on my 2014 civic and had to replace the condenser. Not cheap and the system always leaked after that, end of air con!

I have a pair of stone chip dints in the bonnet where the metal bent too. Not much paint lost there, almost like it bounced.

The new price is now discounted much of the time by 30% so leasers will not want to pay the balloon payment and own the car but hand it back. Bear these real new prices in mind when buying used too - I just got a second for me to match my wife's. Mine blue, hers red! I paid £18,595 for an SE...

Our red has suffered more in 24000 miles than any previous car we've owned in its lifetime and we used to buy a few years old and keep till they cause trouble!

An update and a plea for more help. The T-box is replaced, the updates all installed and 2nd year service done but the car still refuses to communicate with the app. It does not update the clock and it isn't showing an emergency calls unavailable error message anymore. I suspect the MG servers...

I think they went into administration and were then being fired for breach of contract. I believe the money paid to invest in the coops is ring fenced until invested (with the probable exception of the investment fee).

write them a letter advising that if the issue is not resolved by repair or replacement within 7 days you will engage a solicitor and arrange your own replacement or repair. then do that and the cost is theirs - they have the option to repair or replace faulty goods but have done neither.

If it was exactly 6 hours but it isn't and is has done all sorts of random shifts, more than going round the clock so far. As stated elsewhere there seems to be no place to manually set the clock on MG4 even though I can disable auto update. I landed on MG5 forum having searched T-box and didn't...

Rather concerningly the clock can shift 6 hours overnight, which is why I can't currently use it to schedule a charge! Makes me wonder if once powered down the clock goes to sleep too or if more than the T-box is knackered!

That's right. Mine is an MG4EV not an MG5, an SE not a trophy, none of those screens look like mine and I see no option to change the time when I disable automatic updates.

The clock normally updates automatically from the web so loses this function on loss of the telecom function. What is odd is that it doesn't manage to keep approximate time using battery power whilst it has no connection but I just accepted that as a cheap no thought given MG thing! Odder still...

I looked further down the google search and found a breaker selling a T-box - it is exactly as I thought a phone/modem/wifi unit!

Mine needs replaced according tot he dealer - how did I know something was wrong - red light saying can't make emergency call, clock stopped updating and lost touch with reality so can't schedule charge as it keeps changing it's idea of whether it is day or night, no response to any aspect of...

I went to MG after nearly 2 years and 34,000 miles when my car stopped updating its clock, making emergency calls and showing up on the app. I booked it into MG saying I thought the modem / telecoms unit must have failed but the call centre lady thought 3 recalls for software updates would fix...
