Hi
I'm after some advice regarding my 12volt battery going flat on my drive home.
12V battery light came on, car worked OK so kept driving, when the battery got to 10V it dropped like a stone to 6V dash went off then car stopped working completely.
AA confirmed HV battery isn't charging the 12 volt battery, needs to be towed to garage.
My indra home charger has been acting odd lately, sometimes not finishing a charge, other morning red lights on charger, odd 1 tiny blue light on for a while but still charged, sometimes.
Could the charger of caused this fault? Could it be as simple as changing a fuse in my car?
MG garage said they can't look at it for 8 weeks!!!! so it's just sat in their lockup.
Hoping to fix it myself, or take a spare battery and swap them over every few days, at least I'll have a car.
The courtesy car has to be given back in 3 days, they won't extend it or sort another one until my car been looked at.
Garage tell me they have no loner cars to give me for 6 weeks
So come Tuesday I'm without a car.
Any advice appreciated, either about fixing the car or how to squeeze a loan car out of the main dealer
Thanks
