Service

So my other post today was about my 12v battery showing 12.5v when i srart the car after a full charge.
I contacted MG in Basildon and they qupted me £315 plus £175 to fine out why my battery is showing 12.5v .
I then phoned MG in Southend told them the issues and got a quote of £175 . MG Basildon are a con.
Rant over.

Where this occurs, the diagnostic fee is normally conditional on the cause of the fault being non warranty related. In your case, I can't see any obvious reason why it wouldn't be covered by the warranty if the car is in READY mode and you are not seeing a charging voltage (typically 14V+).
The fact that your car had just completed a traction battery charge is not actually relevant.

So todays update. Battery now showing 14.1 v .Think Santa must have changed the battery overnight.

Update on my service.
I went to MG in Southend after they quoted £164 for the 3 yr service( MG Basildon qupted me £310).
When i arrived they took the car into the workshop and then told me the service would be £1300. The reason was because it is a Taxi. Please all comments appreciated.
TIA

Tell 'em to get lost, and take it elsewhere, it won't need to be an MG Dealer, and if it's a 3 year old Taxi there will probably be no warranty left to protect.

Thats what i thought the plan was to run it into the ground. I will have retired in 2 years anyway.
