During the breakdown in which my car was bricked by fault codes triggered by the Eurotunnel rapid charger my car 12v battery 'failed' and dropped to 3v charge. The car was recovered to the local dealer where (after 2 days) the fault codes were cleared, the 12v battery re-charged and a...

There is an issue that some some chargers cause some MGs to throw fault codes and be immobilized. Some roadside solutions sometimes work but if it strikes be prepared for a trip in a recovery vehicle. MG Tech seem to be overwhelmed, pretty poor and very hard to get hold of. MG dealers are...

Canute came to our aid when the Eurotunnel charger bricked the car - with help from the MG cr*p software. He was with us about 5 hours. Did all he could think of and then more. Wasn't phased by the EV. Was willing to listen to my pearls of half understood MG Community wisdom and applied it...
