Hi @leslie, welcome to MGEVs, there should be a plastic wheel cap remover in the boot.

Hi Leslie
You will have to live with the puncture kit unless you are also considering relocating the battery.

I suppose you could live with the spare wheel permanently in the boot if you so wished.

If, you should be unlucky enough to get a puncture the kit will (should) get you on your way in less than 15 minutes.

You can also call out the AA if required.

I would usually say that punctures aren't that common, but I've had two in two years which I quickly repaired myself.

Try ebay.
You might find something suitable.
Example below.

What about a jack if I wanted to paint calipers

Please tell me, what are the proper points to lift the car? The blue ones, or the green?

I've had mine up a few times and lifted on the seam (blue)

Could be a risk of slippage on your other choice.

I use a 3 Tonne Jack with a large, slotted, rubber pad for safety and security.

In case you are unaware, when these supplied emergency pump-up kits are used, your tyre repair guy will throw the tyre away instead of washing it out.
Although very handy to get at its a shame MG never found another place to put that battery, especially as the spare wheel recess is there already!

Just googled the mg3 hybrid plus and several different sites said 36 litres.
So I'm presuming that's correct. 🙂

Edit. MGs own site also says. 36 litres. 👍
