The diag machine that the recovery guys carry around, although very good, is a multi generic type that is best suited for most cars on the road today.In the whirlwind of activity around the failure it is hard to know exactly what happened when and therefore doubt creeps in. I am pretty confident it wasn't user error but.......
The AA guy tried a new 12v battery in the hope that would clear the problem. No joy.
The dealer has tried drain tests, I believe without success. They have ordered up a new battery under warranty. It's due here on Thursday.
So far the dealer has just cleared the fault codes. (Its interesting the AA man couldn't although there is plenty on testimony n the forum about this being a bit and miss affair. The AA man was using a computer which he described as 'the new million pound computer we were given last week'.)
I have not persuaded the dealer to seek out the MG Tech advice and then upload the new EVCC sofware fix for Aug 21 manufacture LRs.
My guess would be that the MG diag machine has the ability to dig deeper into the menus.
The software programs are aimed directly at the MG models.
My feeling here ( as I said before ) is that the dealer intends to clear the codes, then to install a new 12 volt battery.
I am going to assume that they are either acting under instruction from MG or they are trying to correct the problem themselves, ?.
Then re-run the diag and if the car throws up a problem, then they will contact MG Tech.
