I didn't think a unused usb cable had a current draw on it. But when tested they said it did. I don't know how many different cables they tried and they didn't say the cable was faulty so I just felt a large unwanted red herring landed in my lap and didn't want to argue.

Called Hendy after 11 days of them having the car and collected it the following day. I am told after extensive testing and checking number of software updates had been applied and a new recommendation that the usb cable should be unplugged when not in use, as this increases the draw on the...

Thanks for the link I'll order it. Dropping the car in to the Hendys this morning.

I have this usb disc identification error for 2 years now, when driving out of Dab range 'Greatest hits south coast'. The battery eventually died having been dis charged regularly. (Replaced under warranty) AA got fed up visiting my drive. So I started doing the battery disconnect fix. Dropping...

Totally agree and under serious consideration, but, 'Out of the frying pan into the fire' always springs to mind. I'm hoping they will listen to a bit of feedback first, see what they say, hoping for a 'sorry'. Would be nice to have a thread on dealer satisfaction rather than generic google...

Had flat battery issues from new in May (MG4 SE long range) It took 2 months to get it booked in to be looked at in the meantime I was advised if it happened again call the AA which I did. 5 times the battery went flat. Last week when it went in to the dealer Mark the Technician told me it is a...

Lesson learnt ! (The hard way) Shame the dealer didn't seem interested enough to respond. The infotainment / software issues it was booked in for wasn't fixed either. So I'm guessing another 2 months wait before their earliest available slot.

The staining/ etching wasn't just on the black panels closer look the paint and glass had whatever the mg dealer uses to clean customers cars baked on to the surface. Nothing harmless would shift it, not even 3m surface cleaner or three no abrasive polishes. Following professional advice...

Just having a nightmare, Car went back to the dealer for a software update on the hottest day of the year and they washed it ! *** . Didn't notice till I got home. Does anyone know how to get etched water marks off the rear quarter panels and spoiler top. Tried re washing, 50/50 distilled water...

Car spent a couple of days with the dealer who carried out R16 s/w update. The battery drain issue is a known issue so as per MG technical a BCM reset was performed. Time will tell if the battery goes flat again but for the first time the app showed the battery being charged when it dipped to...

Interesting the list I have does have infotainment issues too Fm radio and DAB goes blank no stations no volume. No DC rapid charging. 'No comms' issue displayed on rapid charger screens. 'Home screen reset' make no difference. Disconnecting the -ve battery post fixes it more often than not...

Just ordered a couple of faraday pouches for the keys. Apparently they can stop your car from being stolen as well, (my flat battery takes care of that.)

Thanks for that, I'll cross the app off the list of possible causes. Back to the AA breakdown man who suspects the key is stored too close to the car. He recommended something to put the key in ?

Yep a warning just momentarily popped and disappeared 2 seconds later on my mobile ! Went outside to the car and noises again like relays were coming from under the bonnet. Ismart version 1.1.13 running on Android. Wonder if that's causing a flat battery?

Thanks, good idea. I'll ask the dealer on the 7th September when it goes into be looked at. Hopefully all will be well after. I'm looking forward to being able to fast charge occasionally when needed, not having a flat battery when I need to use the car and perhaps being able to listen to the...
