Good afternoon all XPower owners, apologies for he long post.
I had a problem with my car a few days ago which could've led to a major issue had I been in the car; I used the key fob to open the car and heard the usual noises, went to open the driver's door but it was locked, along with the boot, but I could open the other doors. Not a problem (as such) as I just opened the front passenger door, leant across and tried to open the door with the 'open door switch, this didn't work so I tried the manual handle but it was locked solid. I then tried the key blade (from inside the key fob) but that too, was locked solid with no way of turning the key.
I checked the 12v battery voltage with the MG app and it was showing 12.9v. I rang MG Assistance (The AA), explained the problem and they said they'd send someone out. After a couple of minutes a technician called me and asked me to leave the car for 30 minutes and try again. A cup of tea later, I tried the key fob again and all the doors opened? The technician called me back to check what happened and I told him that the doors opened, so I cancelled the call out, however, he advised me to book the car in with a local dealer to see if they could work out what had happened. I'm booked in on 14th May, I'll let you know if they found anything.
Since this happened I've been a bit anxious about being in the car, on an open road, and not being able to get out of the car, as the door is locked solid!!
Has anyone else had this problem?
