MG3 Hybrid Service Manual

[geek]

Oi, MG3 Hybrid service manual floating around is missing the Engine control system (pages 204-250 are void of diagrams/picture/text). Could anyone post the complete manual or the missing part thereof ? Thanks

As an alternative backup location, I have copied the manual to my website:

Let me know (and point me to) anything else useful that I can put there.

missing 40 pages.... engine control

Hi Richard, Don't think so, mine has been switched on auto hold since the day I collected it. This is bout six weeks now and I haven't come across any circumstances where I have needed to switch it off yet. Although I'm sure someone on this Forum will come up with a valid reason why you should!!!!

When you want to creep forward, e.g. in your garage, from a stop. With auto hold on you need a little more accelerator which, given you've got limited space in the garage, you don't necessarily want. Turn the auto hold off with the console switch and then you have better control of initial move off.

Have today found out my first service at my MG main dealer will take 1/2 hour at £156/hour and cost £173.08. Checking MG's 'Maintenance Checksheet' I see all that will be replaced at the first annual service (15K mls) are the engine oil (4 litres) & filter. (No other filters) I will have only done about 5k mls. Apparently this is their low mileage charge for this service. What is going on?

Checking online I see Castrol can do 4 litres of engine oil for MG ZS SUV Castrol EDGE 0W-20 V Engine Oil 4L @ £47.99 free delivery. Apparently Castrol EDGE 0W-20 V is suitable for gasoline and diesel vehicles with ACEA C5 0W-20 recommendations.
Also noticed the Valvoline equivalent for 5 litres was just £39.96
So the oil isn't out of this world at all. To me it looks like some sharp practice going on.
Any thoughts on this?

Just been quoted £235 for first service, utter highway robbery and was told if you get it elsewhere and they are not mg approved I will lose my 7year warranty, they are taking our eye balls out
