They’ve managed to shuffle things around and give me a loaner (HS auto) until Tuesday, when they need it back, but hopefully they’ll be able to shuffle things again to put me in something else until my ZS is fixed.

Had it confirmed that the parts required are a new CCU and a new 12V battery. Dealer still waiting on MG approval to proceed.

Pretty sure it’s not just a 12V battery issue (although I’d imagine that it will be shot now), as the AA guy checked the voltage across the terminals with the car in ready mode, and it didn’t increase, implying that it was not charging from the HV battery. As for faith in the dealer, the jury’s...

That’s what I thought too, until the dealer stated CCU on the phone. They’re now waiting on MG approval to order the part (£1600), but because it’s available to order, MG won’t extend the courtesy car hire, which I find ridiculous! I’m glad to say that the dealer has put some effort into...

I had an incident on Sunday when the dash came up with warnings about the 12V battery voltage being low (around 11.3V initially), and telling me to pull over. I wasn’t far from home, so headed back, but the battery voltage eventually went into free fall, then the whole car died. Recovered the...

We’ll see! Just booked it in - earliest they can look at it is next Monday, so will update then. My partner is going to have to take it as I’m working - I’ve told them I want all four doors checking, as this will be the third time I’ve had to visit the dealership regarding door locks, and it’s...

Unfortunately, as of this morning, I am now unable to access the front passenger side door from outside!! Internal mechanism still seems to be fine after the “fix” though!

Same on mine

It took an hour, and yes it seems to have fixed the problem. Keeping my fingers crossed that the issue doesn’t start to manifest itself in other doors, as I’ve just read about from Lovemyev!

I had mine fixed last week at Minstergate York. It did involve an initial visit. To investigate before Christmas, and then the part was ordered - the original plan was to apply some grease on the first visit, but between booking it in and arriving, a batch of faulty latches had been acknowledged...

Just had “front passenger side latch” replaced. As quoted it just took an hour. Thought part number would be on invoice but apparently not, sorry. Let’s hope that’s it finished with!

Will do. It does sound quick - hoping they keep to their word!

Mine’s booked in next week for a quoted “one hour”, to replace parts related to the deadlocking system - the diagnosis was that the deadlocking mechanism was what was preventing the doors from opening from the inside, and to be fair, they pulled the fuse for the deadlocking as a safety...

I’ve only had the car a month, but was consistently achieving 2.2 miles/kWh on the 5 mile school run. Since consciously modifying my behaviour when stopped, it’s coming out about 2.8, and that’s since the temps have gone sub-zero. To be honest, I’m more concerned that it could potentially cause...

I don’t have auto-hold switched on as I was previously driving a Volvo ICE where that feature caused a bit of a lag when setting off again - I just prefer it that way now.

Similar - one of my work-arounds is to use the P button on the drive selector much more than I used to.

Sorry, consumption has decreased! Good spot!!

When driving around in stop/start traffic and at junctions etc, I have noticed that the car (mark 2 LR) is drawing power even when stationary. It seems that only lightly pressing the brake pedal (enough to keep the car from moving) is the issue - a more firm press drops the power reading to...

It’s just a month old, or at least that’s how long I’ve had it, but who knows how long it was sitting in Shanghai!

Update from the dealership… Apparently there is a faulty batch of door latches, so it’s going to need a new one. The issue relates to the deadlocking mechanism (hence why the internal handle won’t operate). They’ve applied a temporary fix in the software to prevent the issue occurring in the...
