There is, here!!!! Many people will research before buying an MG, I for one wont be replacing our MG with another one in September, 2027, I'm heading to Kia, VW or Tesla when the time comes. The dealerships do have an uphill struggle with MG. The whole SAIC operation could be so much better...

Yes

How good is their EV tariff?

Get yourself a cuppa and a biscuit and have a watch of this:-

I sincerely hope not, we have expensive energy now, if we start to harvest Hydrogen god help us.

Fair enough, not a system I have come across.

Thats fine, if youre not confident, leave well alone. Usually commercial batteries have additional sockets to plug another battery in. I have used these ports plugging the power supply in there. To the system it doesnt know or care what the source of the DC power is, it will simply take current...

It really isnt, a red and a black wire from the power supply plugged into your battery port (where the second battery would connect). Plug the power supply into your car, when the house battery is at say 75% start to increase the voltage out of the power supply until you see 20amps for every 1kW...

How would they know? youre connecting onto DC terminals with a DC supply just the same as a battery Why? It wouldnt work, the switch on surge the inverter would take would trip the power supply.

Hi Paul, I connected to my DIY battery directly onto the DC wires (big black and big red) that go from the inverter to the battery. At this point the 48v DC is being fed into the inverter via the BMS (Battery Management System all batteries have). It's very easy to do and you could just purchase...

Thank you everyone for your valued input. Some great advice and suggestions on here and hopefully it will forewarn others of how it can go wrong despite best efforts. Whilst some people may think I'm blowing this up out of all proportion - "the garage have told me it's ok" I only get to find...

I'm trying to document what I want from this action. Ideally I want in writing from MG confirmation that my warranty has not been compromised in any way. If MG cant or wont confirm this I think I have to go along the lines of the garage take the car back, settle all of the finance with no...

This minefield just gets bigger and bigger. It's incredible that I've done all of the right things, MG's finance, GAP Insurance, Maintenance Contract all so I didn't have the slightest worry during the 4 years of ownership of this car. Now look where I am, what on earth did I do wrong?

Aye, probably different in Scotland but near enough the same in principle. I have emailed the garage to tell them in 7 days time I will be going via the court route rather than the Ombudsman. I'll give it a go the DIY route, save some money LOL. Thanks - John

Thanks for the heads up, I'm happy to deal via the courts in view of what you've said. I'll change tack and start the paperwork, in my experience if you present any case well, good documentation etc, the courts are pretty efficient and in the past have always found in my favour. Did your brother...
