    Dead 12V battery - any help and advice please?

    I've been keeping an eagle eye on it, as I did think it would be wrecked, but it seems to be back to normal... switching on gives 12.9 to 13.2 which then rapidly climbs to 14.1V

    Dead 12V battery - any help and advice please?

    I had similar after a long run in crap weather and then the car was left unused for 6 days... battery voltage was 3.4V. The AA guy who came out for MG assistance was a star... arrived quickly and put his battery jump/diagnosis unit on, got the car started... at which point the battery display...

    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    Out of interest, how many pre-facelift MG5's were sold? Anyone know? As I see it, due to MG's total lack of interest in doing the decent thing with this, how many future sales are they risking with the 'tough luck, we don't care' attitude? I've praised MG to the high heavens all over the...

    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    I think that one of our biggest problems is that the MG dealer 'network' are franchises rather than dealers... my local, Richmond, is Hyundai, Skoda and Suzuki dealer as well as MG and to that end are 'jack of all trades' as far as servicing and after sales.... whilst I'm unlikely to be changing...

    Insurance

    Everyone's the same... £389 last year £630 this... managed to get down to £520 with less excess, courtesy car, etc which the previous policy didn't have... I blame the fact that the insurers now seem to own all of the repair infrastructure and can manipulate the market to their advantage...

    Key battery warning

    Changed mine out this morning as I coildn't get into the car with it.... sadly it turned out, after the AA mans visit, the the car's 12V battery was flat. His diagnostic gear, afer he got the car powered up, didn't show any problem with the battery per se. He advised letting it sit switched on...

    Tyre pressure sensor

    I had this last week.... checked and pressured to the correct setting. The pressure warning went away after a mile or so. The manual say that the car takes a distance to 're-learn' what the sensors are doing. Been fine ever since.

    Major scratch on front bumper

    Go online and google Revive! UK... they can do that on your drive at a very reasonable price. They repaired worse on my red 5 and it's undetectable... Fill in the form on their site and the email a quote back to you. Add the paint code into the information as MG use some special 3 pack paints...
