Still on first tank of petrol! 49.8 mpg with a mixture of short and medium length journeys but mainly short. Miles per tank creeping up to 480 at setting 3 or high KERS recovery. Basically, be brave! The car is clearly on a learning curve, just like us! I still have over half a tank left so I...

There are three levels, the default is level 2, level 1 is sport, the high level 3 has to be set at the start of each trip and has the highest KERS. It is annoying to have to reset this each time!

If the 12 V battery is flat, then my understanding is that you use the power pack to get the ignition going, run the car for 30 minutes to put some charge back then limp home with minimum electricals running. Once home trickle charge the 12 V battery in the boot with a full sized grown up...

Good mpg? Set it on highest economy level, don’t use the brake but use the slowing KERS effect to slow the car. Be gentle with the accelerator. I haven’t stopped using the aircon but that would save a shed load of battery power. I think these figures can be improved upon!

Hi Aitch The Cuarko allows you to access the Apps on your phone. You can use Siri, use navigation apps that have a live back up with road delays and closures (possible rerouting). You can also play the music you might have on your phone. It is a one stop set up. I start the car, the phone...

Loving this car MG3 Hybrid! 67.5mpg on my last trip. It is responsive and fun to drive. The iPhone connects automatically with the Cuarko unit and I am mastering the many features within! I have done 86 miles, the fuel hasn’t moved at all and the mileage in the tank/battery seems to have gone...

Reviews at 4.4 out of 5 over 747 response which isn’t bad. I will hopefully never have to use it, but a flashlight will come in handy if my head torch runs out!

It scared me too when I bought the car new. It said I had 85 miles left but I could not calculate from that how much fuel was really in the tank. The fuel tank is 36L or just under 8 gallons, I put in 28L meaning that there was about 8L already in the tank. Thus 8L showed 88 miles, but the real...

Nothing on the start up screen. I also pressed the phone symbol to see if I could connect that way, but that connects via MG3 Bluetooth and it will not offer any alternatives. I suspect you can change the name of MG3 to a name of your choosing at this screen. Well I don’t know! I arrived home...

The Cuarko is not pairing and although the relevant Bluetooth and wifi are both connected, the car still refuses to pair. I also bought the CarPlay wireless adaptor for Apple and I have exactly the same problem with that dongle as well. I disabled the MG3 connection and instructed to ignore it...

I just bought the Cuarko, which had a good review, I’ll let you know how I get on when it arrives tomorrow.

All very well until your old fashioned key parts company with its fob! I can tell you that the key is not able to be repaired and a new fob assembly is £50. Now I like my button start every much!

A new battery should hold its charge. I always turn off radio, air con, lights and anything else that might not disconnect with the ignition. I have left a car for nearly four months and the battery was sufficient to fire up the engine. Old batteries are a different matter!
