    Replacement Windscreen Wipers

    I just put in 'Ali Express MG3 Hybrid+ wipers' to search engine and found this page: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008257623679.html Select RHD - £7.69 the lot! - even less than mine!

    Replacement Windscreen Wipers

    Just (Google?) put in say "MG3 Hybrid+ Windscreen wipers, Ali Express" and that should do it.

    Engine oil circulation

    When I first got mine I had to get onto our nearby motorway with its new cold engine so took it very easy up to just 60mph and the engine was going some. Had no idea there was even a rev counter (if you can call it that) On later finding and reading the manual and finding the 'rev counter', it...

    Eco mode

    I reckon in ECO it just gives a softer throttle pedal, so you need to push it further down to get the same acceleration. I guess switching cruise control to bring it up to any pre-set speed would be gentler that in NORMAL/SPORT too. So more economical. Haven't noticed any difference in mpg...

    Replacement Windscreen Wipers

    I couldn't find any here in the UK either. As much as I hate having to use them I got all three wipers from Ali Express for just £11.99 delivered! Not fitted yet (just for insurance) but look the same.

    What car did your MG3 replace ? ??

    Following on from previous post above I have had no troubles with this motor for nearly 1-1/2 years now. BUT now with this NCAP seat type failure something needs to be done urgently. Is MG's 7-year warranty of any use to us at all???

    Ncap fail for mg3 hybrid

    A mandatory recall - I like the sound of that. Anybody clever enough to start up a petition for us '24 MG3s???

    What car did your MG3 replace ? ??

    As an MG nut when the original MG3s came out I got one, after five years I got another on. Yes they couldn't take the skin off a rice pudding but never had any trouble with them, except an air con gas pipe broke on one - replaced under warranty and the second one with Stop/Start seemed to like...

    Juddering Wipers

    Couldn't find these wipers anywhere in the UK, eventually I got these from AliExpress a few months ago. Not fitted yet but fittings look right. Click on:- www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008257623679.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.4.7cae1802wkaA6D Price is unreal too!

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

    Here are the Maintenance Check sheets attached (found hunting around) Had the 1st service at 3.5K miles - on a 2 year plan with Richmond MG here in the south. This amounted to £173 for the low mileage service, scheduled to be just a half hour service to change engine oil £30, filter £20.46(!) &...

    Juddering Wipers

    All wipers on all the cars I have owned would eventually judder, when there is nothing actually wrong with them. Every time you stop your normally working wipers stop laying in the same downward direction and will be like that until it eventually rains again. Hot sun won't help either. When the...

    Sat Nav location issues on starting up.

    Yes mine is the same, doesn't know where it is until after moving off and recalculates the route at every turn - seems we just have to accept it or use something else!

    Regeneration brake light operation.

    ...and the lights go out once the parking switch/brake is on. Thanks Jim.

    MG3 Hybrid Oil Change

    This price was quoted by my MG dealer back in May '24 when I took out their 2 year service 'deal'. Bit over a barrel with this warranty we have...

    Regeneration brake light operation.

    Well done Jim, this brake light thing has been bugging me for over a year now - sorted. SO... can you let us know, if once we have stopped, will using the "handbrake" switch turn off the brake lights? I hate siting behind illuminated brake lights at traffic lights and like to know mine are off...
