Similar fault - but was parked this evening in an NCP car park in Glasgow. Returned after 2 hours. Filthy weather - lashing rain - 4degC.
Red "Charger Connected" on screen. Tried to switch to Drive - message was "Connected Uncharged". Switched on/off several times. Locked/Unlocked several times. - no change.
My car came back from the dealer 2 days ago with a completely new CCU - longer story - but was reluctant to disconnect battery before other options just after a repair.
So called AA Road Assistance, who gave a 1hr ETA. Read forum, found this thread. So tried open/close charging flag - no change. Tried pushing the locking pin in (with flap open) - no change - though noted that previous posters explain that this is probably irrelevant.
Update from AA - now a further 2 hour wait.
So time for the 10mm spanner, -ve cable removed for 3 mins, then reattached.
MG5 starts OK - but with more error messages than I have ever seen. So slow drive round car park - warnings still on. Tested brakes - warnings cleared. Not willing to switch on/off in case fault re-appears.
Drove 25 miles home - driving snow 1 degC.
Parked at home. Switched off and on - drove a few yards on drive - seems to have cleared. Will test again tomorrow.
Dealer updated software last week - I will post version no tomorrow.
