Before you go about a warranty claim you will find out if the car is still covered. It’s not a requirement to have it serviced by a MG dealer if the works are done in time and according to MG’s maintenance procedures. Given MG’s notorious inflexible around all things warranty related, the most...

It should not enter sleep mode when used daily. Try a HW reset (disconnect 12V battery minus pole for a couple of minutes, then reconnect it) start the car, move steering wheel fully in both directions to clear faults.

Not sure what exactly you’re looking for, but the CCU charges the aux battery every time the car is READY or charging. Probably the easiest way to achieve your goal is put the second battery in parallel with your aux and disconnect it once the voltage drops below a certain level.

More than likely the update will still be required, unless a dealer showed some initiative? But luckily it’s now possible to do this DIY style: Thread '[Guide] DIY Tesla Compatibility Update for MG5' [Guide] DIY Tesla Compatibility Update for MG5

DC charging is using the AC signal connections of the charge port but completely bypasses the AC/DC section of the CCU. I wouldn't rule out corrosion on the AC contacts completely, but the likelihood of an issue further downstream (CCU, EV-ECU) is far more likely. As always with intermittent...

I sat in the car when I tested it, there is definitely warm air used for demisting with blowers a high speed, none of that @ ‘high’?

This seems to be a general ‘bug’ as ours does the same on ‘high’? I wouldn’t bother bringing it to the dealer, just use the windscreen demist setting instead…

Curious, how much of that is actually going into the battery (wall box vs iSmart value)?

The 13.8V is supplied by the DC/DC section of CCU and is not indicative of the 12V battery health. Starting the car with HV battery disconnected will ensure that all low voltage circuits are powered directly by the Aux battery. If its voltage drops quickly below 12V consider replacing it...

Yes, the CCU will charge the 12V battery every time the HV battery is connected (READY or charging). What voltage does it show when READY? You can try to do a HW reset, but most likely you’ll need to replace it. The quality of the stock 12V battery isn’t great, hence the reason it’s only...

You were just unlucky, take the refund and buy the same again.

Unfortunately that applies to a lot of things these days

Every item not listed specifically is covered by the 7 year warranty e.g, the complete HV section (battery motor, inverter, CCU etc). These are big tickets (££££) items to replace although unlikely to fail, is it worth the risk?

I assume you mean having the doors unlocked as the charging port itself always locks during a session?

Charging speed is the key, on a good day in summer the Rapid CCS charger will outperform your wall box by a factor 10 or more..
