Well….Thats a bit of a debatable question really tbh. Normally, updates at the time of service are usually FOC. They will first run a full system scan, which will throw up fault codes, if it detects any. They will also check if there is any updates still outstanding against your VIN number...

I would suggest that you try another post at a different location and you are still struggling on getting the charge to commence, or the speed is less than 7 kw's, then its a trip to the dealers unfortunately. The will use the MG lap top to check for any charging issues and update the software...

This depends on the age of your car, earlier models can still access the low milage service rates, but MG pulled the plug on low milage servicing the on newer models. I think this was about 12 months ago ?. I can't help but feel, that MG though it was loosing too much revenue from servicing...

If your primary method of receiving a decent charge rate into your car, is extremely reliant on the public charging system, then its absolutely vital that you to have GOOD quality dependable 32Amp - 7kw Type 2 to Type 2 cable. Your lower charging speed of only 3.5 kw's would be the Max...

The problem here is that you don't know how good the quality of these second hand cables really are ?. You could end up right back where where you started. EV's are not cheap, so why risk using a used one on your pride and joy. The Granny lead gains it name from the fact that it is a bit slower...

Okay - So you have a good idea that the Osprey unit works on your car. If you are unsure if the cheap cable is effective, then I think you may have to bite the bullet and buy a good quality cable first. Then when it arrives, identify it as the new cable with some tape and then go to the know...

It’s a process of elimination now. Try using your Granny charger to do a delay charge, if it works correctly, you are looking at the wall box or the type 2 cable if you are using an untethered box.

Sorry, I thought you had already bought and tried another type 2 cable with no joy ?. Does your local dealer have a working post so you can try your cable, then ask them if you can just borrow their cable to try on your car. I can recommend a type 2 cable that I bought myself, with no problem at...

So the issue is not with the car then at least.

If your wall box has the facility to set a delayed charge, turn it off. Now double check that you have turned on scheduled charging slide control in the head unit and the correct of peak times. It has been known that the wall box times can conflict with the times set in the car. Oh…. Long shot...

Who pays the final ballon payment at the end of a PCP plan ?. Nobody I would hazard a guess 🤣

The car uses two different types of charging methods for both A/C ( slow charging like wall box / public charging & Granny ) and D/C Rapid charging. When using a D/C unit, the energy is direct path to the traction battery. The onboard A/C charger is NOT being used. It is possible to have a...

Battery degradation will happen regardless of what you do, all we can do as private owners, is help slow down the process, by treating the battery in the best way we possibly can. If you need to charge, then you need to charge, it’s as simple as that. The treatment we hope to offer our...

Trying the Granny, it will provide you with that answer very quickly !. If it charges via the Granny, it is NOT the car !. This will eliminate the charger in the car and the software.

Bjørn Nyland made a great simple comment on his channel, regarding different battery types. In regards to why the manufactures of LFP batteries recommend that you should charge from any point of SOC to 100% every single time. He stated that LFP batteries have a problem of calculating a close to...
