    The Naviextras app does not see stick?

    Hi Aakopen. The inbuilt sat nav will not show current road closures or road changes or warn you of hazards ahead. Whereas a phone-connected sat nav, such as Android Auto, is designed for this specific purpose. Regarding battery draw, I can't speak for the iPhone, as I use a Samsung phone, which...

    The Naviextras app does not see stick?

    MG no longer use Naviextra for map updates, despite various indications that they do. Maybe the dealer can do it for you; you'll need to check with them. The inbuilt sat nav is useless, and I would strongly suggest you use CarPlay or Android Auto, which provide you with up-to-the-minute updates...

    My 5-year plan costs me £27.45 per month = £329.40 each year. The last two years also include the cost of an MOT. That's a total of £1647.00 thats £1178.63 less than the above mentioned figures.

    My glass remains more than 'half full'!

    I get creaky suspension noises after I've been driving in rainy, wet conditions. The rear creaks at every speed hump I have to travel over on my road leading up to my house. It takes a couple of days for the 'suspension bush' to dry out, and then the creaking completely disappears (until I drive...

    Petrol cap

    I've had this issue with not being able to turn the cap. I've resolved the problem by putting some silicone oil around the rubber inside the cap. It works for me. And I always stop after one click when refitting the cap after fueling up. A little bit of an update; Today I had difficulty...

    Squeaky rear suspension over speed humps - returns!

    I've had a squeaky suspension noise last winter in very cold weather. In summer, the noise completely disappears - except after driving in heavy rain. I reported it at the first service (which happened in the summer), and the dealer told me they couldn't find any problem. Three days ago, after...

    Squeaky rear suspension over speed humps - returns!

    Thank you for the reply. What are the 'silent blocks' you refer to? is this lubrication something only the dealer can do?

    Squeaky rear suspension over speed humps - returns!

    During last winter, a loud rubberised squeak/knock emanated from the rear suspension on the driver's side, in particular when going over speed humps. When the warmer weather arrived, the noise completely disappeared. Except on ONE single occasion, mid July, when I'd driven for miles and miles in...

    Replacement Windscreen Wipers

    They were replaced free of charge under warranty due to the juddering of the rubber across the screen. I would still buy from dealer regardless of the price as I know quality has a cost.

    Satnav update

    Forget the car's in-built sat nav if you require bang up-to-date information as you drive, such as live traffic updates about holdups, police presence, road works, traffic jams, etc. Android Auto is the way to go.

    New ECU software

    I purchased my MG3 Trophy on September 24. Its just had its first service at 6000 miles, which I believe included a software update. The engine, when it's running, now sounds much sweeter, quieter and smoother than before. It doesn't scream in high revs like it did previously, so I'm very happy...

    Replacement Windscreen Wipers

    I didn't have to pay for them, as they were replaced under warranty. The bladed juddered so I complained.
