There is an issue that some some chargers cause some MGs to throw fault codes and be immobilized. Some roadside solutions sometimes work but if it strikes be prepared for a trip in a recovery vehicle.
MG Tech seem to be overwhelmed, pretty poor and very hard to get hold of.
MG dealers are motivated to keep quiet because they want to sell cars. They are also ill informed, overwhelmed, under trained and poorly supported by MG Tech.
The AA do not have the tech kit to reset MG fault codes.Their EV training seems to be how to put on rubber gloves and avoid touching anything.
Our forum masks the problem by dividing threads between the models and mixing car polishing tips threads up with newby information with technical debate and development.
1 The best solution to the issue is for MG to sort their software to make it resistant to charger vagaries.
2 Second best but needed is a fault code software reset protocol that can be driver initiated.
3. A simple OBD fault code reset capability would work for some more technical people. Certainly the AA shouldn't be held back by their having overly sophisticated tech. And a down and dirty OBD dongle could probaby be put in ther hands for a coupe of quid.
4 acknowledge the problem and disseminate the information to dealers
5 rejig the forum to collate technical info by topic across all the models
And also thank you. Keep up the good work
