Well, got my car back from the dealer on Saturday after a 5 week repair!
Actually came back earlier than anticipated by them. As the car was collected fully charged was unable to verify the repair had worked at the time.
Roll on 5 days and….. NO, it’s just as before.. tried 3 different rapid chargers today and car won’t connect.
So another weekend in the Diesel and the MG sits on the drive.
Contacting Which, Ombudsman, or whoever can sort this mess out.
NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE.
 
Tried all the above.
Had a MG4 hire car from MG while they fixed it, and went to Ullapool Scotland.
Many charging stops there and back with no issues at all.
Only difference, mine is first gen model, hire car was the newer one.

Thanks for mentioning that.
MG4 long range.
I initially put a deposit on a ZS that never came, so I switched to the MG4.
I’ll update my profile.

My advice would be to take it back in and insist that a technician come with you and demonstrate the problem to them at a rapid charger. Then tell them you don’t want it back until they can demonstrate it working on it.

There is clearly a fault with the car that they have done something to fix and haven’t even bothered checking it worked. If they gave it you back at 100% it was almost certainly charged on AC.

Unfortunately there are some pretty crappy dealers out there for all makes of cars. I traded in my last car (Cupra Born) because I had such a bad after sale experience. Really I should have taken it somewhere else. I’ve had a few problems with my MG4 but the service centre I’m using is really helpful so far (Baylis MG Gloucester); Unlike Heritage Gloucester, that I like to take a swipe at whenever the opportunity to save people from them presents itself!

Well it’s booked in again for next Wednesday, I’ll dig out whoever is in charge and insist what you mentioned.They clearly haven’t got a clue, it’s booked in for 9am and I was told to collect it at 5pm the same day! Last time they had it for 5 weeks. There’s a160kw rapid charger about a mile from the dealer.
