You will not believe it! Have just received a telephone call from Richmond our local Portsmouth MG dealer to say they will carry out this seat runner recall on 18th Dec when I already had it booked in to check on an occasionally stuck window. Apparently, they should even have all the spares to...

Hi 'Freeway' - you ask "Can you plug the 12v solar into the charger", the answer has to be no. You would plug the charger into the mains to directly charge the 12v battery in the boot. Or you simply connect the solar panel directly to the 12v battery. Don't know anything about stuff under the...

Yes short infrequent journeys do the 12v battery no good at all, just as on our ICE motors. As the main power battery charges the 12v one (via a DC/DC converter) you can simply charge the 12v battery when the car is simply switched on and go nowhere. The voltage shown on the driver's screen...

Have had mine for over 18 months now and only just over 5K miles done in that time. Have had no issues at all with the car but do keep an eye on the 12v battery's health. If it is looking a bit low from lack of use or short journeys I put it on a trickle charger or a battery charging solar panel...

Thanks Clive but that is the owners manual not the service manual. Click in this: MG3 Service Manual.pdf Check out pages 204 - 250. Dead secret obviously!

Nobody has replied to the original posting here. There are indeed 40 blank pages! Haven't sussed how to copy that in but it was this one was at the top. Any news out there??? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Oi, MG3 Hybrid...

Hi Emili, as you, having forgotten to push the brake pedal I got the green light too. Realising I had not hit the brake I didn't trust this route, so pressed that start button again to off and then went through the correct procedure so all went as normal. Best to do what it says on the tin.

Nice one John. I can't test this box with the closed lid of course but the lid is similar to the way a biscuit tin fits over the tin. This does prompt the thought that one really should use a pouch when parked away from home.

I've always just chucked both sets of the 3's keys into a little old lidded tin box. 'Faraday' - too high tech for MGs!

I agree with Chinook and the others, no loud alarm after switching off here either - sounds like its time to see your nice(?) MG garage folk. Best of luck.

Crazy money isn't it, all that an A service for just 1/2 hours work, some oil and a filter. If only our cars were fitted with a Dowty-type sump washer that wouldn't even need changing. My MG garage couldn't really justify it. Still like the car though...

Great - looks like that might be sorted then. Interesting Part No. 'MG ZS 19' - borrowed off the ZS by any chance? Let's see if they are any good after this first lot pack up. Could not be any cheaper!

Thanks for that Jim - do let us know what they come back with. I had noticed the difference but thought just an inch each end wouldn't be noticed by my navigator (wife), who is still working on trying to understand all the infotainment for us!

Is it just me? From the steering wheel's and my driving position I cannot see the Start Button and its dim green light. As a result, having once parked, pressed 'P', knocked off the music and picked up all the bits and pieces, shut the driver's door, emptied the boot, you then press the fob's...

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!
