I would hope it was fixed as its nearly 18 months ago. or OP has flogged his MG 😂

Wife booked ours in for the same body earth recall. she only waited 1/2 hr on the vehicle. It may be a money making ploy but the insurance industry is changing the goal posts a lot so that may be the norm that garages have to apply to nowadays to cut costs insurance wise

You need to keep the heaters low in temp in the car or else the ice keeps kicking in. Wife drives ours so she likes the heat and its not as efficient in winter. Possibly might have to put heater off altogether but not entirely sure as im not in it often

Yes you can turn it off. Downright dangerous when traffic slows down turning left. Pilot stands on the brakes and your just waiting for the boot lid to end up behind your ears. I only ever use it on the motorway, it definitely keeps you alert when driving:rolleyes:

As i said earlier its no jewel but it does what it does with all those quirks, has to be the worst mated gearbox and engine I've ever come across but wife loves it and its made good savings with the battery. tail gate is one issue ive had no bother with from the first few times, i just stay well...

I nicknamed it MCAS like on the Boeing 737 max

Failed charging with Pulsar Plus wall box read this post as it may be an issue with the charger and connection method? Disregard my first post until you try this method

If you can set your charger amperage through an app? set it to 15amp which is adequate for an MG since they only take 3.5 KW from memory. I had issues with my Hypervolt on a couple of occasions and once I set the amps from 30 to 15 its run faultless. Most chargers come factory set at 30 or...

Way I look at it we paid £27,500 (price I paid) for a plug in hybrid car that most other brands sell at 35-40k+ for a similar vehicle. You weren't expecting an oil painting for the money? More like a watercolour with some runs. It is what it is but the fact it has a 7 year warranty gives me...

That would seem logical enough that the issue is with the onboard charger Astrotom with the symptoms you've quoted. Petrol is expensive enough without using it to recharge the batteries too LOL. Hopefully your parts arrive soon. Thats one issue I slipped up on when purchasing this car, not...

Charging by Solar alone can be problematic for the vehicles as on a cloudy day the constant on off can play havoc with your EV. I have a Hypervolt charger and the techs for Hypervolt recommended I dont charge on solar only which is super eco mode on my charger. They recommend i use Eco mode...

Just curious, do you charge using Solar power on your roof Astrotom?

possibly only demo they have of that model like a lot of other dealers and they are waiting on a replacement stock order? or salesman has no wheels if he releases it too soon:ROFLMAO:

Going by my length of delivery you should be getting it in July, Sept seems like a fob off to me

Good short journey car. Wife does a 14 mile round trip daily to work and drives in EV mode mostly, good savings to be made rather than long journeys. I personally dont like the gearbox setup between the electric and ice as I find it too revvy and that annoying lag in gear change about 50mph...

yes and they will tax BEV the same down the line. goal posts always moving.

Hopefully they get it sorted quickly, sounds like more than a battery issue or incompetence fitting the replacement with total power loss so quick. The least they could do is a courtesy car with faults on a nearly new car under warranty.

Dealers aren't known for their flexibility except when your buying a new car where they can move heaven and earth to relieve you of your savings or the banks:oops: I suppose a lot depends on MG,s flexibility around warranty issues but the dealer could swap a battery out of a new stock car if he...

If it was replaced by the dealer with MG's approval theres no issue, Given its 12 month warranty if it goes after that and its probably in the consumable or wear and tear list like brake pads etc and I would get it changed myself or at any tyre exhaust depot. I personally have changed brake pads...

If the dealer went to local motor factors and bought one it would come out of his pocket not MG if MG didn't ok it and doubtful they ever would never mind the pitfalls for the dealer and the customer if anything was to go wrong through a fault with the battery not supplied by the manufacturer of...
