Help! Charging cable stuck in MG5 EV

[akendall1966]

Genie point press and reset the estop 5 times in a row reboots the charger and resets the connection to the car. That freed me from our local one at morrisons when it trapped me. Told to do that but support when called.

It's OK saying take joff the motor cover but wont you need a spanner and a flat bladed screwdriver ?

you can lift it off with finger force, the plastic screw things can be pushed back in easily (don't lose them)

I've had one of these in my pocket (no, I'm not pleased to see you) for the past twenty something years. Incredibly useful. Mostly for the pliers, then scissors, screwdriver, knives, saw, file, and can opener, more or less in that order.

really useful things to have! (typically right until they're found by TSA and confiscated)
(cheaper smaller clones of the multi tool are better, less bothersome when taken and do the job)

Nearly got caught out like that once but I just popped it into checked in baggage.

I've not yet found a clone that is as good. Leatherman offer (and, I understand) honour a 25 year warranty.

cheap and nasty wanna be leathermans cost a few quid, they're crap but less troublesome when lost or broken (YMMV)
