OK so 3rd service and mot today.
As things have progressed , booked it in 3 weeks ago, on MG's side since i booked it in i was intrigued how it would pan out.
The guy who i booked it in with greeted me with the "haven't got a clue about the Tesla/EVCC issue"
So fast forward to today.
Car serviced and passed the mot?
Went to collect it and before i paid, i asked if any updates were done/outstanding?
No.
Any enhanced updates available on your TRIP system?
No.
Now this time there was a mechanic and another servicing guy within arms length.
I said that there was enhanced update out, i thought i would play the route of i am willing to pay for this, and that Gary Smart has issued an email saying as much.
The mechanic said is it a ZS? as he has done a few of these lately.
How the hell can the service guy not know about the EVCC update if they are carrying out such work?
I said no its a MG5 SR.
So the service guy ( i know his name but lets keep it unbiased), said let me check the system.
I said the one you just said you checked?
Lo and behold there's an enhanced update available.?
Again i said i'm sure mine is too old to update under warranty, i want to know the price for the greater goods knowledge.
Oh we would need to know what version/part number mine is - fair point, so i pulled out my phone and showed them the pic of mine. This didn't please the guy very much but the mechanic was interested.
I also reminded them that the info would be on the TRIP system and it again was in the email from Gary Smart, with part numbers, cost etc.
Anyway, i paid the bill and the service guy said would it be ok of he text me the cost once they have it, for fitting and coding. They wouldn't know how long off the top of their head it would take to fit.
I said 2 x bolts by the battery, i said i would remove the plastic cover if it helps them out.
I said all this in a polite manner, as no one likes a smart arse - especially if they are right.
So now i am waiting for the text with the price and any lead time for the part, just for reference.
Mine was version 10971602 - incase anyone was wondering - so not on the list of ones that have been updated for free as of yet.
Only distance to this garage is the reason i go, next year i may try my luck at Brindley Wolverhampton.
