Interesting.
Mine is due in next Wednesday for the update which the dealer has agreed to do, despite the circular from MG.
Interesting. How is the dealer going to find out which unit is in the vehicle?Just got back from a service and tesla update that did not happen....
Well it seems that all PFL MG5s need a charger swap or to be more accurate all mk1MG5s need the new charger at a cost of £500. This makes a mockery of the fact that LR PFL cars have had the software upgrade applied and work with a Tesla. The dealer have been told not to attempt the upgrade because any potential damage would be their responsibility and declined to do it. Perfectly acceptable position but they had no explanation for why some cars work fine with the update. They are in a very difficult position but they listened and we understood each other's position and we have come up with a plan to move forward.
It looks like that the SR cars have a nonupgradeable charger but the LR ones have the later upgradeable units. It could be that the mk1 MG% is actually the SR versions. AS a result the bulletin is misleading. That needs to be proved by establishing which charger is fitted to which car. The problem is it is not clear if all the LR cars have the right charger or what so the service team is going to help identify which charger is in my car. If it is an SR one then fine I understand the position. If it is a later one then it is stroppy email to MG asking what they are playing at by charging me for a new charger which I don't need. Trading standards I think would be very interested in this as it is a scam. Anyway need to get as much info to challenge the bulletin as possible.
Watch this space - waiting for my phone to charge to start plugging in the OBDII unit!
