    is the MG3 hybrid ok for low milage users?

    Our MG3 Hybrid will only cover around 4000-5000 miles a year. Some weeks it will only travel a couple of miles to the shops. It's never been a problem left standing unused, only in the winter, the brake pads occasionally 'stick' but this is to be expected and isn't an issue. I never had any...

    Rotary Gear Selector Sticking

    The gear selector on mine sticks when I turn it to D and doesn't spring back to the centre as it used to do. However, it doesn't seem to affect the vehicle's function in any way from a driving point of view. If I turn it to R that side does return to centre. Perhaps a drop of WD40 would sort...

    MG3 Trophy Service Cost

    The dealership is Spirit MG in Corby. I'm not sure it would be a viable solution as Corby is a long way from Cornwall if you'd need to take your car to them for service. I would have thought all dealers use the same MG pricing system?

    MG3 Trophy Service Cost

    My plan was taken up when I purchased the vehicle last September at the dealership. My car is an MG3 Hybrid Trophy. I think the costs for servicing are also published on MG's website?

    MG3 Trophy Service Cost

    Whoa! My plan for the five years and two MOT's is a total of £1619.49 circa 10,000m p.a. The 4th year service is £305.99 the 5th year is £256.16. Your prices seems overly expensive??

    How does this particular hybrid system work?

    If you use the app remotely to warm the inside of the car on a frosty morning to 'defrost' the windscreen, where does the heat get generated? As far as I know, you can't start the engine remotely, which is the main heat source for the car. I know you can heat the seats and the steering wheel...

    Wheel Nuts - one feels loose on each wheel

    That is the wheel locking nut. Of all the plastic nut covers that one is the only nut cover that swivels and is perfectly normal.

    Ev or hev

    I also have done a journey of 14 miles and the overall return was 67mpg. Who cares what mode it runs in, it's pennies in the pocket that count. Don't get all het up about it running in EV mode just enjoy the moments it does.

    Road Tax Doubles

    That's a relief, but it's just a bit of a misunderstanding.

    Low Mileage Service Plan for MG3 Hybrid+

    Hi Big Ears I have no printed or digital documentation providing detailed work to be completed or checked for the next five-year services. Some members have attempted to track down a service manual, but as I see it, to no avail. Only the owner's manual is available, but it does not include a...

    Road Tax Doubles

    I know in today's world, they say you get what you pay for, but sometimes, price rises don't seem logical. Fair enough in September, I paid £165.00 for 12 months' tax. Next year, however, it doubles to a whopping £330.00. (Groan).

    Hi Billy My MG service plan is over 5 years, which seems to be a cheaper option and far less per month.
