    I think you will find the Solus has been discontinued.

    VERY ALARMING SITUATION

    Sorry for my long above post, but BTW, I today had fitted two new GOODYEAR EFFICIENT GRIP PERFORMANCE tyres fitted, at a cost of £228.00. These are a staple range of tyres from Goodyear, and if I should suffer the same issue on the rear axle tyres, I will be ditching the Khumos for these.

    VERY ALARMING SITUATION

    Many thanks for responding, and indeed Asda do stock Khumo tyres. Unfortunately the issue is not with the brand but the model of the tyre, which in this case is a SOLUS HS63 in 195/55 R16 87H size. It's perfectly possible, as many may will advocate doing, fitting another model of Khumo tyre or...

    VERY ALARMING SITUATION

    Firstly sorry to post on this section as I have an MG3 HYBRID, but given the seriousness of the situation I feel it's worth making this is widely known as possible. These vehicles come from factory with Khumo Solus HS63 195/55 R16 87H tyres. THESE TYRES ARE OBSOLETE and are completely...

    Expected tyre misery - again!

    Due to the budget nature of everything that is MG here in the UK in terms of support, back in June after a puncture (which fortunately was repairable), I discovered the make and model of tyres fitted to the MG3 HYBRID, are only available in Australia! Fat lot of good that is anywhere in the...

    Errors on dashboard (weather related)

    When I get that message I Clean the camera on the front bumper. I think that's the one that the system uses.

    Emissions fault

    I had the EGR valve replacement at the beginning of December, and so far the issue has not returned, which beats the last record of one month between failures, so hopefully all will be well for good now! I think I was one of the earlier owners to have experienced this fault, which for me began...

    High fuel consumption in winter

    You make a good point regarding increased revs. Whilst I haven't experienced the4,000 rpm figure,as I live on a hill every journey sees the revs go up to about 2,500 when only travelling at 25 mph approx. Apart from this tendency for the gearbox to change down to presumably second to purely...

    High fuel consumption in winter

    I do wonder if MG could introduce a software update. Perhaps keeping the gearbox in a higher gear, unless the driver presses the accelerator firmly. As it stands the gearbox changes down irrespective of speed accelerator position as soon as a hill is detected. From what I can tell I'm afraid...

    High fuel consumption in winter

    I drive in normal mode with level 2 regen braking, so all the standard settings, and there is definitely a reduction in Electric only driving in colder weather. It's been milder in the UK over the last week, and the fuel economy has improved with a lot more driving in Electric, however as you...

    Beginning to get concerned! (emissions fault returned)

    EGR valve which is replaced along with the associated gasket. It's been a few weeks now since this was replaced on my car, and so far all is OK. Although prior to this 'latest fix' the previous fix lasted about four weeks, so that record has still got to be beaten! In fairness my dealer did ask...

    Beginning to get concerned! (emissions fault returned)

    Try to get hold of Jay at Glyn Hopkins St Albans. They can usually fit you in depending on whether you need a courtesy car, within in a week, or two. They were the dealership that worked on my car, and are familiar with the issue. I bought my car from Glyn Hopkins in Mill Hill, and their...

    Beginning to get concerned! (emissions fault returned)

    It could well be the ‘EGR valve’. After two attempts to fix my car, MG UK told the dealers with affected customers to replace this part, with the associated gasket, as they discovered it to be a part failure. My car went in roughly three weeks ago to have the part replaced. Prior to this I would...

    Beginning to get concerned! (emissions fault returned)

    The issue surrounds the EGR valve not closing. MG UK became aware of the issue, and all affected cars, including my own 2 weeks ago, are being called back by the dealers to have the valve and associated gasket replaced.

    High petrol consumption & high revs

    To the right of the instrument screen. You may need to press the right hand middle button on the steering wheel, this allows you to use the right hand joystick to cycle through the menu options. There is a display both for accumulated trip data, and the second is from the start of a journey...

    High petrol consumption & high revs

    On one short trip totalling maybe no more than 3 miles, most of which was in traffic, and in upper single figure temp, the display showed only around 18 mpg!!! But at other times in similar short journeys, with less traffic it could show upper twenties or low thirties. Fuel consumption is so...

    Get a Bluetooth device which you leave plugged in to the socket,etc on the dashboard. When you get in your car it links your phone automatically. I use a Cuarko device available from Amazon.

    Emissions fault

    Sounds like it was the EGR valve which actually measures the exhaust gases. This seems to be the procedure that MG recommend. The five weeks I'm guessing is how long it took the part to arrive.

    Emissions fault

    Just for info if you have this warning light (engine emissions fault) you must inform your dealer, as ultimately it could cause damage. If you have the iSMART app you can find the handbook on there, it’s also somewhere in the screen on the car. As I said my car is due in on Monday for a...

    What is wrong with your MG3-Hybrid (ONLY)

    I have seen a big reduction in economy in the colder weather. Whilst it's the electric motor that is still driving the car a lot of the time around town, the petrol engine is running far longer to charge the battery and supply heat to the cabin. I find it useful to display the graphic which...
