Tried today to use the AA app, but it wants your membership number. Couldn't get through to AA general enquiries to explain it is MG Assistance so gave up.

Thanks for that, I also noticed that I can't use voice commands on the phone without connecting it.

Very true, as you say, quite hazardous to experiment whilst driving. I've printed off the relevant sections, sorted them by subject and keep them in the passenger seat map pocket. This way I can refresh my memory of how things work by pulling into a lay-by or when we stop for a pot of tea.

A very comprehensive video review and, having owned my own for a couple of weeks, I agree it gives a true summing up of the MG3 Hybrid+.

Excellent. Not seen that before.

I'm not quite sure why a 'dongle' is needed. I can use my car phone without plugging the phone into anything. Am I missing something?

Nope! Tried that and lots more buttons. Even swmbo can't do it and she knows everything

As one old fart to another, I guess SWMBO is boss over the car keys? I used to have the same problem but, thankfully she's now given up on driving. Nowadays I just have my own pilot, seeing eye, vocal warnings about mythical cyclists/pedestrians and a louder, but not as accurate Satellite navigator!

Thanks Kev. The only thing I can't fathom out is how to switch the b----- thing off!

Now that the MG3 Hybrid forum has so many members, I wonder if it would be possible to arrange a 'Collective Request' to MG Motor UK to print an authoritative manual?

Thanks Clive, for your sound advice.

Need a bit of advice, Clive. How do I update a post? Can I carry on a post I've already sent with further comments about the same subject, or should I just start a new post every time? Cheers

Just so you know, MG assistance covers the whole bag of tricks, wherever you are in the UK. It's a fully comprehensive package. The phone number for breakdowns is 0800 072 3338. All you need is your reg number and to be with your vehicle.

Thanks for trying, Clive, but it doesn't help me. I've searched the online owners manual thoroughly, yet nowhere does it mention using the radio. It's a strange setup, surely someone, somewhere driving an Mg3 hybrid is happily listening to radio Manchester/Liverpool/Radio 2/the Archers? Fear...

Is there anyone out there who can explain how to use the radio? I can play tracks from my usb stick, but can't get radio. apart from USB Music the only alternative showing is BBC Music. Pressing that shows no tracks. Any help would be appreciated.

Had the misfortune to get the dreaded low tyre pressure warning today. Sure enough, bad puncture on ns rear. Pulled onto next garage for air and, lo and behold, two more cars already pulled in with punctures. We'd all come from the same direction/road, so??? Anyway, got the kit out of the boot...

I've had my Trophy for just over a week and, apart from getting a grip of the many, many electronic extras, I'm finding the car brilliant. Power, road holding, braking, comfort etc, all really good. Mileage is reading 69.8 mpg most days. Even had 74.8 on the trip from Perrys in Preston to home...

Kev. Even with a printout, understanding how to use Cruise control/Adaptive cc, Assisted driving/ car follow??? is totally confusing. I'm wracking my brains where I can find a deserted stretch of road to try out the different options.

What I could do, Kev, is if you go through the manual online, make a note of which pages you need printing and I can do them for you. You only need to tell me, for example, pages 2 to 16, 195 to 208 etc. aitch

I've just tried to get a quote from Arnold Clarke, but they say they are not an MG approved centre. I asked if that applied at all Arnold Clarke Group and she said it does. Questionable?
