I am confused and think you need to be a bit more specific about your problems. For example you say 'binding' which is the process of linking your iSmart account to the car. (A once-only task unless you change accounts or cars.) Is that what your problem is? Or are you talking about the process...

@ADC1966, I sympathise with your situation and as you have probably gleaned from the responses the Forum members are a little protective of their cars, myself included. However, you have been let down by the dealer who should have explained the car's workings before they let you have it. The...

Unfortunately you will see this Forum is littered with helpful tips to get around problems that arise. It is postulated that the car 'goes to sleep' after a while and does not respond to App requests. I answered the original poster with advice that has has been known to trigger the car to wake...

@case dismissed, is your car set for TJA rather than LKA?

@Expat Ever, can you not set a schedule in the car via the battery state page? Tap the cog.

@Hadrian, your car probably has the charging fault and I hope it gets fixed quickly. However some simple tests could have localised the fault and, perhaps, resolved it earlier or given damning evidence to the garage. (For example see the case at the end of the thread 'MG4 Spotted'). As other...

I was shouting at the video about the keyfob battery all the time. Silly, I know. Later in the film he recounts what Lotus said and they say that, had they known that the keyfob was the issue, they could have got another to him. And, he said, that if he had owned the car he would have had a...

Interesting video and a lesson to us all to challenge what someone is doing to your car. But, am I being cynical in that I believe someone who reviews cars should know at least the basic operation of the car, simple faultfinding and that keyfobs have batteries that fail? Mind you I am...

@GlobalHealer69, there is nothing wrong with your car. As you have driven it the car computes how many miles per kWh you are achieving and estimates your mileage based on that. In winter the battery system is not as good at delivering power as in summer so the miles per kWh goes down...

I was wrong about the tyre pressure above. I was relying on the app to tell me if the pressure had decreased. I know now that it was telling old information. After a short drive yesterday the tyre warning came up at 1.1bar. I parked and pumped it up to 2.4bar. An hour later as I returned home...

@fnegroni, I don't know when I picked up the screw before I noticed the low pressure reading. The pressure was 2.4bar the day before but I did not check it before I travelled a short distance, parked the car and about 15 mins later checked the pressures and found the low reading. I wasn't able...

I was checking the status of my Trophy's tyres after receiving a low pressure reading of 2.3bar on a cold day which I ignored and it went away when I drove this car. However, today, I got the status, with a normal statement about type pressures, see photo 1: But when I checked I found as per...

@zeka, thank you for replying. You obviously have lots of experience with the MG and therefore I hesitate to offer advice. However a fresh set of eyes and trying things can help localise and possibly resolve the issue. So, the lack of port lights has been seen before as @Coulomb said in his...

It is known that the car 'goes to sleep', in respect of replying to the app, if it is not powered up every few days - but there is no consistent duration.

The HV battery is supposed to maintain the 12V battery when the car is not powered up but this is not guaranteed and depends on the HV battery's state of charge. (I have experienced this.) You are recommended to disconnect the 12V battery when the car is to be left for a long time. 14.2v is the...

Bear in mind that running out of 'fuel' can result in a driving offence with a fine and penalty points depending on the road conditions. Busy road, motorway, dangerous conditions etc.

For the 19 moths I've owned my Trophy the HVAC could only be used remotely twice.

The are no issues with the lights. On those occasions the car would not start a charge until I powered it up, all other factors being correct for a charge to start. The point I was trying to make is that there appears to be vagaries in the system that means you may have to do various checks and...

I thought indicating only affected LKA not FCA. What sensitivity setting do you have for FCA?

The reason I asked about the process used by @zeka is that sometimes when I just unlock the car and open the charge port panel the lights are not on and even if I connect the car to my EVSE, checking all plugs are firmly locked in, the car will not charge. I need to power up the car to charge it.
