MG5 Trophy LR
My FL5 Trophy has stopped charging on all head office 7kW chargers. 10mm spanner trick not resolved it, but is now charging on the granny charger.

Any idea what’s going on?

Will try a rapid charger on way home.
 
I suspect one of the control pins in your lead has widened out and is not making contact when you plug it in, worth looking at as you might be able to tease it back in a bit.
 
Another incident today. Same charger at work using the spare cable.

Started charging from ~15% at 6.2kW and checked throughout the day. At ~3.30pm checked app and noticed charging had stopped at 75%.

Wondered down to car park. Colleagues BMW still OK on the other socket but mine not working. Removed from car plugged in again - no good.

Then found I couldn’t remove plug from charger post. Required a lot of force…. because it had melted a bit and welded itself to socket. Hmm.

13amp still works so car OK!
 
Either you have been very unlucky with cables/your replacement was of poor quality or someone needs to get an engineer out to check that charger as it may have a loose connection on the charger side causing excessive heat.
