Talking point for tonight:

Looks like the latest BMS fix update has been released!

Can we look into maximum voltage of battery after a full charge? Also what actions is required if the full battery voltage is less than expected for new car - 2 weeks old?

I cant get my manual speed limiter to function, please can you help.
My intelligent speed limiter sets perfect.
When I press set in manual mode nothing happens.

BMS, could it be that there are late 2020 cars that show the correct fully charge battery voltage and equalisation time only takes a few hours or will all cars need to be recalled?

Bit late to the discussion but I am getting my new MG 5 at the end of this week or the beginning of next week and have been told that during the changeover the manager will be standing outside the car and we will talk through all the details of the car on mobile phones so it hopefully will go well. Sounds like the Chorley branch could do this as well.

Thanks for an informative podcast.

I am now booked in to have the BMS update week on Friday.

I initially had bad condensation and since using a re-usable desiccant bag it has improved significantly.
(They were reduced in Tescos and you blast them in the microwave to dry them out).
