Someone decided to drive into the back of my MG4 and then drive off without exchanging details 😢. I am assuming that the insurance repairer will go for the replace option and that will gobble up all my excess - I went for a large one to reduce cost. Planning to get some alternate quotes before...

Going great. Its like a new car. Thanks for the tip. I have this

I took the car to the MG garage this week. They assessed that one of the terminals was loose and had tightened it; they suggested I charge it and try again. If there is no joy, then replace the battery. They did not seem to know about any software updates. I tried charging it, but there was no...

Whoops - sorry about that, they should be visible now.

Thanks, @AndyL61 - I will be going to a different dealer this time, so hopefully, they will find a way forward. However, I wonder if I should get a new battery beforehand and see if it helps. The car is over 12 months old, but it wasn't when I first reported this. Some videos showing what the...

I just thought I'd update this thread... it's still happening; in fact, it's getting worse; every trip or so, it's having the issue. Although it seems to be changing slightly - the car unlocks, but the front beams flash, and it won't come on. So, I used the lithium charger, which gives it...

They just quoted me £1249 - ouch.

I was with Admiral last year £398.61 Renewal is £759.16 The best alternative is via Snoop App/Moneysupermarket £627.41 Over 50, less than 6k miles per year. Social and commuting. SE London...

Here is a quick update on this. It happened again yesterday. Definitely not cold related (~20°C). Used the battery charger I got after the first time this happened. Powered up straight away. Gave it 10 mins and it seemed fine to drive away, which I did. 30mins drive to work. Left it and worked...

Oh no. Just signed up for the hive EV charger deal with the Barclays discount last week…

Just so you know, I finally solved it :) - the app is bound to the car, and the satnav is working :). I switched dealers (the other one did not seem interested). It took two visits - one for them to look at the problem and one to contact HQ. Then HQ told them to get me to bring it back in, and...

I've had one for about four months now - I find it a bit flaky - connects ok about 80% of the time. Other times, I get a blank screen. Have to unplug and plug it back in, and that usually does the trick. I have got it to update itself a few times, but that hasn't helped much so far. The cable...

FWIW - I got my Trophy back in November and could not activate maps/head unit nor get a QR code to link the app to the car. I was in the garage yesterday and had a software update - I have noticed a few cosmetic tweaks so far (e.g. CarPlay music now shows what's playing), but still not able to...

Thanks, All - the breakdown guy confirmed it was charging when the car was plugged in. But also confirmed the 12V battery is no good. I used it on Monday/Tuesday - short (6 miles each way) commute, and it had 50% capacity. I did nothing with it yesterday. Took it to the garage today. They...

Thanks, Ian - so what charge it has now is probably from what the breakdown guy did. Still waiting to hear from the garage on what they can do.
