Crikey, that doesn't sound good That sounds promising My in-laws i3 was involved in a crash a few years back and when my father in law went to collect something that had been left in the car he said they had fenced it off in a far corner of the car park and were very dramatical about it...

Well it is being assessed by the insurers as we speak. Our broker told me that if a car that is less than one year old requires repairs that exceed 60% of the replacement value the car gets replaced. Of concern for those who bought their cars, Autotrader are suggesting that my car (SE Long...

All ok, including the third party driver. Air bags didn’t trigger fortunately. I’ve given it a closer look and the damage seems superficial so I would be surprised if anything went wrong internally - it was at fairly low speed as we were on a roundabout. It is a company car so I won’t be out...

I was involved in an accident today - another car changed lanes on a roundabout - for no apparent reason as we were both in lanes marked to go straight over - and didn’t look. The car needs two new doors, the bumper, wheel and sill are all damaged too along with the wheel trim. It seems to drive...

My garage told me that I was the second person to have the new update to fix it, and asked me to let them know that it had worked. When I did this they said they were going to “roll it out to the other customers with the same issue”. Sounds pretty widespread to me but hopefully now there is the...

I am pleased to report that the new software update yesterday fixed the issue and I can now use DC chargers again.

Hi Rick, Hopefully they will get it sorted for you, I got called by my dealership yesterday and they have said that MG have released another software update and that they have done it on someone else with the same issue as us and it seems to have worked. Mine is booked in for Wednesday. I will...

How would I know if my issue is linked to this P1EB2 code? Is it possible for me to see this error code without any specialist soft/hardware?

I spoke with my local dealership today to see if there was any update from MG, I am told that there wasn't but that they now have 3 cars with the exact same issue that they are waiting for updates from MG on. If there is three in one dealership I dread to think how many cars are impacted by this...

I was asked if I saw them charging it, I said that I didn’t. I suspect they probably did try to charge it, but didn’t check it properly and saw the Pod Point app (the charger they told me used was a Pod Point one) say it was charging but didn’t bother to check the car or the charger to see if...

I did not see it. I share your cynicism.

The bit that didn't impress me hugely was the fact that my car was parked outside someone's house in another town and not at the dealership. When I asked them about it they told me that this wasn't the case and it was locked in their compound. I said that if that was the case I would like them...

Thanks. The garage have tried to manage expectations over MG's response times, but I will mention the issue with the temperature sensor to see if that is what is causing my issue.

Crikey. Did this happen following a software update or just out of the blue?

The new app is the worst app I have ever had the misfortune of using - for anything. The older version was bad but this one is even worse. Over 50% of the time the start/stop charge and battery charge limit controls fail and need to be done again. A significant proportion of the time the app...
