I bought a new MG3 in April last year. I was told my the service department that any garage could service the car using MG approved products but the service had to be recorded on the MG portal to keep the warranty valid. Any garage has to pay MG to use the portal.

Good afternoon Ann. They are considering an MG3 Hybrid, what did you think of yours before you chucked it back?

The price is good, realiailty not so much. Read all the threads.

17k miles. I was achieving 64-74 mpg but since the cold weather started on November it has dropped to 50-56 with the AC heater on.

My car has been in the garage 3 times and counting, once for over 5 weeks, all foc under warranty.

OMG. You traded it in? Did you get a good price. I hope they are better than the MG3

If you watch Jerry Pan and CARS on YouTube he does lots of tutorials on MG3 which is very informative

When the heating is on the car won't go into EV mode. I put the heating on for a few minutes to heat the car up and then turn it off leaving the heated seat and steering wheel on then it switches into EV mode.

Yes it was and then they realised they needed to change a seal which then took a few more days. They said they didn't hold the stock because it's a new model and MG have only just found the fault. Sounds like the stock is readily available now.

The car has just came out off the garage after more than five weeks, they changed a valve to do with the cooling system. I don't know the name but it sounds like that might be the one.

I took the car in for this fault within the first 2 weeks of ownership and they did all the tests and more and couldn't find anything wrong with it.

I live in Essex,not a million miles away. What was the price for the third (big) service?

That is really good, what part of the country do you live in?

I was told the service centre would have to have access to the MG portal which they have to pay for to record the service. I have just booked my 1st service which is £137 about £50 less than I have previously seen. Maybe MG is listening to us and reducing their extortionate charges.

Ditto. I have no manual to refer to so I have got to the point where I just ignore the warning lights until I stop the car and then when I restart they have gone. Even the app does not record them anymore!
