    Servicing costs are very confusing between dealers and MG - no consistency in prices or descrption

    1st service done. Cost = €211.49 (equal to £184.72). Total time taken three hours (8:30/11:30), because they also checked (at my request) to make sure I had already installed all the latest updates. Everything OK.
