Me neither!

Thanks again all for your suggestions - tried the washing up liquid to no avail. Can't help thinking that the boot is a little proud left side - the boot is almost thrown back rather than being pulled in the last few cms. The dealership were pretty responsive, given all the negativity about...

Sorry, video upload not working!

Here's the vid.....

Video is too big I think.....will try again.... Thanks for the reply!

First up, apologies to the mods for posting this problem....I did do a search on the MG5EV thread, but it yielded no hits, so thought I was posting a less common problem! So far, no joy fixing it here. Haven't tried the silicone trick yet....what product should I use? Forgive the noob...

Thanks for the reply. I have done this several times. After the beeb, the boot fails to close properly, and then when I open it again, it doesn't fully open despite my previous reset actions.

Hi, everyone, Minor problem.... My boot isn't shutting properly on my Trophy S5EV Press the button to close boot.... Tailgate goes down.... Catches the latch, but the mechanism doesn't pull the boot in that last 10cm. The boot open warning light is displayed in the dash. The boot latch is...

Charging at Cromoton Close just outside Laigndon nr Basildon earlier, I did get a decent fast charge rate. Battery had gone down to 9%, thanks to an Audi ICE parked in the Tesla charging area at Bluewater (which was chaos today!!). Managed to drive 19 miles today with battery at 19%, and then...

I totally agree that locking the car locks and secures the charging cable. I don't agree that home charging requires the car to be locked before charging begins. I've seen several charging sessions where I see my charging indicators turn green before I lock the car, indicating that charging has...

I have to say that when I had my MG4, balancing did not depend on Smart Charging being turned off. Haven't yet seen what happens with my new S5.....

As discussed in another thread, this shouldn't have to be the case - the car should charge without the need to lock the car.

I'm in slight conflict over the 'car must be locked' issue with home charging..... At home, I'm using an Ohme charger with Octopus Intelligent Go and the Ohme App. If I programme the required home charge amount on the Ohme app, and then approve the charge request on the app, the car will start...

As far as I'm aware, a home charger for the S5 means either granny or 7kW charger. I appreciate you feel it is tricky for your home situation to get a charger installed, but it's worth investigating, seriously. Considerably easier, quicker and very cheap to run the car. Belated congrats on your...

In case you didn't know, there are public Tesla chargers at Banbury if you are ever between Oxford and Birmingham again....somewhat cheaper than Gridserve....
