Thanks for the info. I can still set the 'smart settings' in the EV energy app to 'only charge off-peak', I have also set this in the MG app, as well as the 'percentage charge'. Vehicle charged no problem last night. I entered the details for my vehicle in the EV app, I just didn't give...

Thanks for the reply. I see what you mean in the EV app. I have now 'added' the MG, but I have not 'linked' the MG account. Fingers crossed.

An update on my 12V battery. Car returned today, problem fixed (I hope). To be fair to the dealership, they have been great. They had to contact MG in China, who logged into the car from there after the T block was replaced. Everything now seems fine. An observation, and I may be completely...

Perhaps I'm incorrect here, but I think that the fact that the 12V battery shouldn't be draining so quickly in the first place. We shouldn't have to be thinking about fitting battery monitoring systems and carrying jumpstart kits, after spending our hard earned money on a new car. Surely we...

Did you have any problems with the app? The app would often log me out and say 'account change, your account is logged in on another device'. The garage said that this may be connected to the problem.

Problem has been identified as a drain from the T box. I also mentioned that my MG app would often log me out and say 'account change, your account is logged in on another device' and this may be connected to the problem. 🤞

Latest update, MG have identified the drain as coming from the Tbox again. New box to be fitted.

Nathaniels in Swansea. With my first MG, I think that they identified the problem to the T box. This was replaced and then a long wait for a technician from MG in China to login to the car to change some of the settings. This I was informed was done, but then they couldn't get the MG app to...

Hi Big L did you resolve the problem? I have had exactly the same problems as you have. My first MGS5 had a problem with the boot, and then the 12v drain. The vehicle was replaced as the problem couldn't be fixed, and now on my replacement MGS5, again I have had a problem with the boot not...

Nothing plugged in. There was an annoying problem with the tailgate not opening high enough, but no dashcam/cables etc plugged in.

Thanks for the replies. If it's 'the user' I would like to know how? Car is locked, full charge, not connected to charger. Why on earth should the battery become drained?

Has anyone else had a problem with the 12V battery becoming drained overnight? I returned my first MGS5 due to this problem and today I have had exactly the same problem with my replacement MGS5, arghhhhh.
