We've struggled for weeks with a temperamental connection between house and car (ZS EV Exclusive).
We're granny charging as we're about to move house, and so not worth installing a 7kW point, which would be fine if only it were reliable.
But every evening when we hook up, it takes 3 or 4 attempts to connect/disconnect, wiggle the connector, lock/unlock, before the car will start charging.
Looking at it in daylight, it seems that the top right pin, as you look at the car, has receded back into the housing, as per the photo I've attempted to embed.
According to t'internet this pin is the Control pilot (CP): post-insertion signalling. Whatever, I'm sure this is the root of our problem.
Has anyone else seen this?
I assume the fix will be a trip back to the MG dealer, rather than poking around with a pair oif long nosed pliers...
