You can't beat a 60 year old concrete drive with a few cracks and covered in patina. No dents when using a jack and no worries from fluid leaks... the car not the driver.

I hope you took screen shots as proof... ...that it was your phone's fault 🤣

Do you mean you engage the parking brake by pressing the P on the gear selector or are you engaging the handbrake using the switch by its side?

When my CCU failed it failed within a couple of charges and it would only put a few watts into the battery when I tried the "charge now" option before stopping. Can you try someone else's AC charger just to rule out that it's not your charger causing the problem?

@meandi sometimes you need to take the weight of the charging cable off the charging port by lifting the cable slightly. This allows the top pins which communicate with the charger to engage properly. Once the charger has got the information, which only takes a second, you can let go. Here's...

My dealer provides a courtesy car when mine goes in for a service so that might be something to take into account.

Is it an SE or LR? If it's the LR have you inadvertently set the charging limit to a low percentage? Have you got a friend or neighbour that will let you charge your MG4 on their charger just to discount that it is your charger?

Rant alert. This is not aimed at anyone in particular, If this forum, or ones like this, didn't exist owners wouldn't know that software upgrades were available unless they had a problem and reported it to the dealer. If they were non the wiser they'd be happy with the car instead of...

It'll be interesting to see what they find. They will either do a lot of software updates or just disconnect the 12v battery for a few minutes to rest everything.

I couldn't either which is why I asked.

Any update?

I think it's the clear plastic piece being deformed that has caused the battery to drain too especially as the key seems to work OK otherwise. If it was the circuit board in my opinion it would either work or it wouldn't. (I'm sure @Everest will correct me 😁) You can get just the shell...

The OP said it happened when connecting his Android phone so it could be the phone's battery cutting the power.

It's not just dealers though. Most companies nowadays seem reluctant to keep the customer informed in case it's not the news they want to hear. When are they going to realise keeping the customer in the dark and false promises winds them up more than anything. I first mentioned it to the dealer...

Update 6: I rang the dealer up this morning to get a progress report on the CCU availability. One, to remind them that I'm not going away, and two, their track record of keeping me informed isn't the best. Hopefully it's good news in that they should have the part early next week 🤞

Agreed. In the late 60's and early 70's E Type Jags were going through the auctions with a reserve of £100 each, which is the equivalent of £2000 in today's money.

You can't beat a good stout. I had a bottle of Theakston's Old Peculier last night and because the weather was on the warm side I chilled it first in the fridge.

Is the courtesy car's insurance being paid for by the dealer or are you using yours? If yours the dealers usually need it to be covered fully comprehensive so just check your cover. The reason I mention this is mine only covers a courtesy car for one week fully comp before reverting to third...

My weight's OK, I'm just not tall enough 😁 And before you ask I'm 6ft 2in.

I remember the old Scalextric hand controls used to get warm and give off a certain smell.
