Good idea about 2 lists, I'll definitely do this, thanks ? Sounds...dangerous! ??

Thanks for your reply. Perhaps I'm overthinking some things, but this is the first "new" (nearly new) car I have ever bought or owned, and as such I kind of expect things to be perfect when I'm spending that kind of money. Is it too much to ask that everything works perfectly and no faults or...

Hi, I'm still waiting for the "local" (2 hour drive each way) garage/dealership to see my car, earliest I could get was first week in May, 5 or 6 weeks after I reported it (at least!). After removing the plugs in the hatch door, it hasn't seemed to have any water collecting inside the door...

Whats your setup for this to use excess solar? Looking to do the same. Thanks!

Hi Les, thanks for your reply. Yes, that makes total sense, I hadn't considered it may reduce the lifespan of internal parts in the car, I was just assuming it was either charging or not charging... A bit like a battery charger in the house. In which case, 1.4kw from the grid does sound the...

Just installed a Zappi2 latest firmware, and Facelift MG5, seems to have the same issue: after a few clouds, stops charging, and have to reinitiate the charge from the MG5 app, not great... I was hoping to just leave it on ECO+ and forget about it. (Another one of those things you find out...

The manual is in the car infotainment and ridiculously hard to scroll through and read. I’ll try and get it online perhaps. Good idea.

Looking at trying the V2L function on the MG5 facelift and just wondering if anyone knows if it needs constant load to keep working? For example for a fridge or freezer, they won’t be on constantly, so would the V2L turn off as there is no load? If so is there a set amount of time it would be...

Seems to work ok, and the liquid seems clear and not soapy, so seems more like rain than washing liquid. Interesting, thank for that, Ideally I'd like to keep the car, but I don't want the fault casing issues down the line, I just want it fixed. Seems too much to ask with garages and dealers...

Yeh, dealer is south east of England. MG dealership where I bought it have now said take it to a local garage to look at but the local garages have refused as it is basically a new car and both have said they won't touch it as it is under warranty and should be taken to an MG dealer or garage...

Well that is interesting... So you've not had any issues with water and they have been there! Hmm, sounds like something is definitely amiss... Thanks for letting me know.

Ahh I see! Yes that's a good idea, will try that thanks ?

I'd have to take the plastic panel off the inside to see this no? I'm not sure I want to start doing that on a new car ? Unless very easy to do without damage etc. I've seen several comments elsewhere saying it might be to do with the "drainage pipes" being either not fitted or incorrectly...

Ahh, just saw the other comments, already answered ^ ?

Hi thanks for your reply, sorry for any confusion. The drain plugs / bungs were from the rear hatch back door, (the tape over the drain hole photos were from the front doors - no issue with water for the front doors, yet.) In terms of dealer checking, the nearest MG dealer Arnold Clark has...

Also with the tape on the front doors…. I noticed with driving for the first few times the windows steam up extremely easily, is this normal in evs? Seems counter intuitive when you have to keep the AC on which uses more battery. Wonder now with all the extra holes this will still happen ? ?

Sure thing -

Okay, looks like there were two drain holes with plugs in left in the back door, I’m by no means a mechanic so this is all new to me. Also never had a new car before, surely like this shouldn’t happen? Either way, if that’s it sorted, I’m thankful! no long trips to the dealer. But slightly...

Yes I agree, trouble is I bought it down south, and I live in Scotland, 2 hours from the nearest dealer and they have said they’re busy until June! Ridiculous… at a loss as to what to do. I’ve done some more research and it may be a possibility of drain plugs not having been removed… is this a...

I see. I suppose that might be a good thing. I can’t see where it’s getting in, there must be a seal or gasket that’s either missing or not fitted properly. Im worries it’s going to cause issues to the electrical systems.
