    Controlling the heating system

    On the odd hot day we had this summer, the freezing cold A/C coupled with Auto and 20 or 21 degrees worked well, albeit blasted by the fan on presumably the highest setting, but better to have affective cooling in those conditions. However in normal and colder weather, 22 or even 23 and the fan...

    This video is concerning!

    Whilst a completely different model, some of the points the owner made are very concerning. My car as I have documented on here before had an Emissions fault issue which took two attempts to get sorted. I am hoping, given that this video was from a year ago, that MG UK have pulled their socks...

    Emissions fault

    They were going to replace the EGR but instead MG told them to do a software update. So far in nearly 3 weeks the light has not returned. My guess the software update widens the parameters that the engine management will measure, in order to not trigger the problem. A couple of points. I was...

    Cabin sounds like water from a dripping tap

    Whilst completely unconnected, I get a creaking from the dashboard when the heater is on. It would suggest plastic expanding as parts of the dash get warm.

    Is this car a good buy?

    I would advise if possible to test it driving uphill. The design of the hybrid system is a bit different to many other cars, in that you can actually drive a few miles on electric alone, and one of the unique features is how there is a 'generator' function where the petrol engine is running to...

    Mg3 hybrid+ trophy high revs and not changing gear

    Sorry missed your post. In respect of the high reving when going uphill it would seem that it's an annoying 'characteristic' of the car; as too many owners seem to mention it. In these more autumnal temperatures (something we haven't been experiencing in recent years. Summer is like autumn, and...

    Combining dynamic cruise control and traffic sign recognition

    I have this feature on my other car - a Genesis Electrified G80. It will advise you of the new speed limit and by tapping the cruise control button will change the cars speed, whilst on motorways etc it will do it automatically. The only issue, when on a variable limit motorway, the speed only...

    What car did your MG3 replace ? ??

    DS are trying to establish themselves as a stand alone premium brand, with their own unique products. However as far as the UK is concerned, the dealer network, and promotion of DS UK just isn’t up to the task. You have to be able to provide ‘premium’ service to compete with the established...

    What car did your MG3 replace ? ??

    My MG3 replaced a DS3 1.2 Connected Chic Auto which I owned from new in 2018. It was a mostly reliable car, and fairly 'nippy' with a 3 cylinder turbo engine, although fuel economy with quite poor averaging low thirties MPG. Unfortunately the ride was very crude, and at used to rattle like a bag...

    Satnav

    I just use WAYZ, it's a lot easier to use, has traffic information and reroute, and most importantly has full voice activation for addresses and POI. With a wireless CarPlay or Android adaptor, you don't even need to plug your phone in to access it.

    2/3 folding bench seat 1/3

    Split rear seats would of course be useful, but the two tone interior certainly brightens up the cabin. The black gloss plastic around the gear selector, and the small bit round the locking buttons on the dash thanks to the way the light reflects of them, by their very nature, show all the...

    Cable snapping under the dashboard ?

    I think if you bought a Mercedes, given the way they are made you could have a whole range of other problems! I too hear the sounds that are being described, and as has already been said it sounds like some mechanical operation such as a relay.

    Mg3 hybrid+ trophy high revs and not changing gear

    Going up hill the engine revs excessively, this is not linear to the accelerator, so I'm guessing the engine is charging the battery. Irrespective of speed etc, when going uphill depending on the gradient it always goes into 'high rev mode' so presumably it's sensing the Hill and trying to...

    Emissions fault

    I collected my car from the dealer last Friday, and so far no light, but that said it lasted a week before the light came back on after their last attempt, so still early days,. The dealer, as I think is usually the case, rely on MG UK Technical for instructions, and the technician did suggest...

    Beginning to get concerned! (emissions fault returned)

    I got my car back yesterday, and so far no return of the Emissions warning. More software updates were carried out, this time centering around the EGR sensor (Oxygen sensor). On a different note the colder weather and I think with use of the heater introduced an annoying rattle from somewhere...

    Mg3 mpg

    I think the colder weather 8 deg C had a noticeable effect on economy. A journey in the summer I saw upper 60mpg, this evening the same journey barely 50mpg. I have a feeling the engine needs to run for longer for the heater to work.

    Beginning to get concerned! (emissions fault returned)

    The speed limit display is something I have experienced very occasionally, but I would say this feature should not be relied as they are inherently inaccurate with them sometimes mis-identifying or not identifying roadside speed limits at all. I use a Road Angel Speed camera warning device, and...
