Looks like you've hit the jackpot, you've scored more warning lights Than I've every seen .... I'd try the Microsoft first step method, shut down/reboot. Get out, lock the door, do a lap around the car (optional choice of words of encouragement can be expressed during this time) unlock the car, put your foot on the brake and see if you get a better result .....

Hold your horses.

I fixed it.

Please don't ask what I did. I just returned to vehicle and it worked !

An infamous MG glitch. Almost certainly won't happen again. (Hopefully)

I have seen this once with a MG4 that had a failed update for the fvcm (the laptop died within the update and the module had to be flashed as a replacement and therefore lost its calibration file):

A) Its going to fix it self (either look and unlock it or disconnect the 12v Battery) - which fixed it in this case here.

B) You have the recalibrate the module which has to be done via SIPS (or to put it in other words you have to visit a dealer).

I find this happens when the auxiliary systems that feed the infotainment screen fail to properly boot - screen remains black.

It either resolves itself after a while because the system recognises the problem or I hold the home button down until the boot sequence starts and the warning symbols disappear.

I had a wee as well

Around the car?

Around the car?

Against the rear nearside wheel whilst touching the carriage


(It's an urban myth before anyone tries it)

You get used to stuff like this, I suspect the MG programmers were Little Britain fans and implemented this feature for the car...

Wasn't that the baker and milk cart driver story? They were not permitted to leave the cart for fear someone could contaminate the goods, so relieving yourself on the rear wheel was allowed ....
