If it is really bad, you get a puddle inside the lightbar. Got mine replaced under warranty a month ago, so far no puddle inside.

Condensation is probably unavoidable tho.
 
I am getting this on my centre and right lights quite badly. Going to see if MG will fit it under warranty as they’re not drying out.

Lights on now, I think it’s like if you are old you are so used to petrol or diesel all the lights come on when you turn the key. Now we put a plug in and no lights come you panic, but power is still going in and I still have six years warranty on so it’s what I’ve been used to for 50 years silly old git.
 
I think I read a post a while back if you lose your blue and green charge lights you remove a fuse under the dash and then refit and it reboots the system I think it was fuse f9.give it a try.
 
Yes, it is a bug that the charge port lights stop working, it doesn't affect charging. Either swap the relevant fuse in/out (which is awkward because it is the fusebox in the end of the dash, not the easier one to get to) or disconnect the 12V and reconnect (with the associated window/steering reset procedure).

I believe there are car module uodates to fix this, it happened to me after about 6 months but I have not had it since (and I have a load of updates to fix various things).
 
Hi Is anyone having problems with water/condensation in the rear light units. MG have just replaced all three light unit ,but within two day's it was as bad as ever.Must be a design fault.
 
My drivers rear light has now failed and half of the leds are out
Trying to convince the dealer that the lamp unit is knackered but they want the car for the day to make sure

Whatever happened to common sense?

When I turned up at my dealer with a sensor problem (which I could demonstrate) the service manager wouldn't come out and see. (a 10 second walk!!)

I also had to waste a bloody day having it "diagnosed" then of course another day having it fixed. (Grateful they fixed it I should be) ((Do a Yoda voice))

To be a clear, if I was in the position of booking work in, I wouldn't take a customer's word for the problem either.

But simple, demonstratable issues like ours should result in a bit of common sense from the Service Manager.

A two minute visual inspection with the customer is all it would take.

Agree with the last three posts, but it happens in other walks of life as well. If you have a bit of a medical problem, you do your research, and eventually come to a conclusion what is wrong and what the solution could be. You trot off to the doctors who doesn't like you self diagnosing and stepping on his toes , and immediately decides you are wrong . As he/she does not want the responsibility of a incorrect diagnosis they send you off for blood tests and specialist consultation. (pass the buck) Eventually down the line your original thoughts prove to be correct and you get the medication which you , many weeks before asked for. In this case the extra costs are carried by the tax payers but you have suffered for an extra period of time . In both cases the sucking in through the teeth noises ( not my job mate ) and kicking the can down the road approach have similarities in appearance. In their defence , they could be right ,and yourself wrong and the underlying but not obvious problems are the ones that need attention, but the instant ( I know better than you ) dismissal approach is the one that gets your blood boiling.
 
My Trophy has really bad condensation tn the rear spoiler and both indicator units. After alot of hassle MG agreed to change them, two days latter it's back. On a sunny day it's really bad, look's a right mess. My dealer has not been of much use telling me to deal with MG directly.

It is prone to condensation due to the large volume of the rear lights and the fact that leds don't heat the light unit up. There's no real solution to this and changing the unit is unlikely to make any difference.

This is not unique to MGs, many makes suffer from condensation.
 
You bought the car from the dealer not MG, it's their problem to solve. Mine got a bit of condensation in the spoiler the other day when it was warm, not checked it since...
Bullshit, it's MG who has to solve this through an authorized MG dealer.
