Hi all, I've been doing Declan's suggestion since the new year and it hasn't made much difference I'm afraid. I'm actually taking the car in to Arnold Clark on Wednesday for a Health Check because of the issue. Plus a few gremlins. One being the car refusing to start on two occasions because it...

Quick response Declan, thank you. I'll give things a go when I'm out next and report back, thank you.

Hi to all, I've owned my MG3 Hybrid+ Trophy since August and have 3,800 miles on the clock. Recently I've had a problem with grinding rear brakes. When braking I get an horrendous grinding noise from the rear. It literally sounds like the brake pads are down to metal and are grinding on the...

Hi to all. I've now managed to find a sweet spot which now seems to provide plenty of EV moments. Once I've managed to heat the car sufficiently after a cold morning start I turn the A/C off and reduce to 22°C with the blower on 3/4.

Hi all, I use a wired connection without any hassle and carplay works fine. The only downer is that if you need to use any of the car systems you have to press the home button to get back out of Carplay. Be better if they were both on screen. Or can this be done?

Hi Big Ears, hope that's not an insult ;) I will try the ACC.

Re economy! Bought mine 3 weeks ago and had a short hop to do yesterday on the Scottish back roads. 76.4 per gallon. Quite impressive. I'm 6'4" and find the car quite roomy. Loving the car but dislike the cruise control. When set & your going down hill, even a small hill, the CC is jerky as it...
