    V2L - Discharge finished

    50% is factory default setting iirc. Why not charge the phone via USB?

    V2L - Discharge finished

    Check your discharge limit, if it’s higher than your current SoC, V2L won’t start…

    "Connected Not Charging"

    You may have more luck getting answers on the MG4 forum, looks likely an issue with the car though, first step is usually to disconnect the 12V aux for a few min, then try the granny supplied with the car

    My Infotainment is missing loads of options

    … or they used the original infotainment unit to repair another car (quite common with demo models) and replaced it with a SE version without noticing?

    MG5 water/moisture in the battery compartment!

    Agreed, it’s rather an issue with this specific pack than a general problem: https://www.mgevs.com/threads/what-depth-of-water-can-an-electric-car-mg-go-through.14115/post-239517

    MG5 water/moisture in the battery compartment!

    Modern HV battery packs are waterproof. That’s an easy fix, open the lid and let it dry out? That’s most likely the price for a replacement pack, not a repair The battery is temperature controlled by a liquid medium, not sure what color it is? The important word here is ‘can’, if this is...

    MG5 won't balance charge (2020 pfl exclusive)

    Just the balancing message or tortoise mode @ SoC > 10% as well? Did you do a hard reset already?

    Battery Failure and Repair History

    As mentioned, the actual work can be done in a day. What takes time is to get ‘all your ducks into a row beforehand I.e diagnose the problem correctly, get authorisation from MG to proceed, organise necessary tools/spares and find someone qualified and certified to do this job. From experience...

    Battery Failure and Repair History

    It’s possible to remove a HV battery, open it up and replace a faulty cell within a day (I have done that myself, not on an MG5 though). Most EV manufacturers actually don’t train ordinary technicians to do this kind of work as one has to cut trough a mountain of red tape to do this ‘above...

    Charging on a long journey

    Better to look at it then for it, 2 hours charging @11kW vs 7kW makes a difference if there is no Rapid nearby.

    No heating while parked

    The only modes the heating is actually working (not just blowing air around) is when the car is READY to drive or during the preheat function via the app (car locked).

    No heating while parked

    When you say stopped, was the car still ‘Ready’? Heating won’t work without HV battery connected…

    Anyone else getting dcdc charge fault & more errors leading to MG5 breakdown?

    It’s highly recommended to externally charge even a brand new 12V aux overnight as you don’t know how long it’s been sitting on a shelf. The car will shut down immediately once the 12V aux goes below a certain limit (11.8V is too close for comfort imho), regardless of the SoC of the main battery.
