Bonjour de France !

[Italy]

I've been delighted to read you for a while, using my memory of my English lessons and especially Deepl, who helps me with the translations.

So I ordered an MG3+ luxury hybrid called a trophy from you on the other side of the Channel.

It will be Hampstead Grey.

I'm obviously looking forward to driving it. Up until now I've had a Honda Jazz hybrid.

I've tested it and I find it particularly lively and I hope that fuel consumption will be reasonable. In France it costs around €24,000, and I'll let you do the conversion into pounds sterling.

I'm a bit worried about the maintenance costs and I wanted to know if the cabin pollen filter is accessible behind the passenger glovebox?
Thank you in advance for your answers and for your interest in reading my comments.

Yes the Pollen Filter is accessible behind the glovebox, turn the 2 screws inside the glovebox ¼ turn clockwise to release and remove them, then the glovebox can be removed to reveal the filter.

Hello to you in Italy.
I had a Honda Jazz, They are an extremely good quality car. Now I have the MG+hybrid Trophy and whilst I like it, it doesn’t come anywhere near quality of the Jazz in my opinion. Is the pollen filter taken care of at service I wonder. ? Come on MG Clive what’s the answer please.

If it's the same as the service schedules on other MG cars, it'll be changed every 2 years.

Thank you very much!

Do you by any chance have the reference number for this pollen filter?

Amazon might be able to sell it?

So we're in the same situation, having each had a Jazz hybrid.
It's true that this Honda is a very good, reliable car but....now too expensive....

When the Jazz was serviced, the pollen filter was supplied but....charged €60 even though it only cost €10. I always changed it myself and told the workshop manager so as not to be charged.
Honda servicing was expensive.

I may change it myself too if it’s not too difficult.

A quick question about tyre pressure.
I read that it was 2.5 bar for a vehicle with one or two people.
What is the recommended pressure for an MG3 loaded with luggage and occupants?

I've also read that tests have shown that the original KUOMO tyres are not very suitable for the MG3. No doubt because of the low cost. Do you have any testimonials to this effect? Have any of you already replaced these tyres with another brand?
Thank you for your feedback
