Yesterday got in the car, checked the mileage as I always do, 156 miles. Drove 5 miles to M&S and parked, when getting out, realised I had parked in a disabled bay so got back in tried turning on the car to move it and it WOULD NOT START....all lights radio etc came on but car would not move and this signal came up on the dashboard “HV BATTERY SHUT OFF”. I then googled the error and came across this group. Tried everything everyone had said, nothing worked. Called hubby and he came down and voila... just his presence made the car start.... 1 month ago, driving along, had about 125 miles in the battery and it suddenly came up with a low battery warning so I pulled into a parking bay and the car died. Had it on a flatbed to Guildford MG who did whatever diagnostics they could and said it had some faults which were addressed. I’m really worried I’m going to get stuck in a dangerous position on a highway as I drive 66 mile round trip into London every day. Has anyone had similar with batter suddenly draining and the HV shut off more than once? I’ve also had a black screen and car not starting at least 5 times since January. Does it sound like my car is just generally problematic? I also have not been able to sync my iPhone contacts to the car (not even my 16 & 17 year old teens been able to), in my opinion if teens can’t do it no-one can.
