The other day our 5 would not start. Pressed the start button and various lights flashed on the dash. On the second attempt, literally nothing happened!
We called MG assist and an AA guy arrived very quickly and diagnosed a flat 12v battery, there wad plenty of charge in the traction battery.
He jumped the battery using a battery booster and told me that you should attach the positive to the positive on the battery and the negative to a piece of bodywork and not the negative terminal.
Car started fine and he checked the 12v battery for charging and condition - all apparently fine.
He said that most of his callouts to ev's and hybrids were 12v battery problems.
As a result of this we bought a noco gb50 jump start battery. It says in the instructions to connect the booster clamps to the battery terminals both +ve and - ve. Not - ve to the bodywork, but the book didn't mention ev's.
Anyone know whats best to do?
