Sorry to hear that Peterboat, but not in the slightest surprised. I have just, today, finally resolved my position with the main dealer. I decided to postpone doing the job myself for the same reasons that Gomev pointed out above. The existing oil condition was my ultimate evidential backstop...

Yes I know. So they are currently offering to do it "again" for free to regain my trust (yeah, like that's going to happen!), but "favouring" me by doing so as they are claiming that it was done. I haven't coverered all avenues yet, but if I do end up doing it myself, I will (probably) be able...

The honest truth is I wouldn't trust them to do it a "second" time either, especially as I am pissing them off big time by pursuing my complaint. I have asked if there is CCTV. They say they have video but not of sufficient quality to help. What good is CCTV in that case? They are working from...

I see this post seems to have fizzled out:-). I am considering changing my own transmission oil on an MG5 at 54k miles and from my findings so far I am assuming that the recommended oil is Shell SL 2808 and it takes approx 0.9L (which at £25+ per litre is comfortingly low). Does anyone agree...

Thanks for your interest and advice. This 4th service will be my last service with MG. It'll take me to 65k miles. Due to the mileage, there would only be one more service after that to take me to the end of the warrany period (and it's a whopping £400!) so I'll take the gamble on it.

Qty 1. Yes that's right - no units. Also no disposal charge itemised. They did itemise £5 of brake cleaner so I must have some pretty clean brakes, right? They didn't mean brake fluid cos they charge a tenner for that separately (about right in my opinion). I believe the car takes 0.9L of oil...

Hi. I've just posted this on another thread as well so apologies for the repetition but it seemed relevant to both. Just ignore it if you've seen it already:-). I've just had a 4yr service on a 2021 MG5 EV for the princely sum of just under £300 and transmission oil change was shown as part of...

Hi. I've just had a 4yr service on a 2021 MG5 EV for the princely sum of just under £300 and transmission oil change was shown as part of the schedule. The problem I have is that I can't be sure they have actually done it. My suspicions arose when the invoice did not itemise the oil. I queried...

Mine's £358 with Admiral Multicar. Think I'll shop around next year!!:(

Sorry gents. It's an old joke which I shouldn't really have used in these days of political correctness. It's hardly racist in my opinion but I apologize to any members I might have upset by airing it.?

I thought How Long was a Chinaman (but what do I know?) :)

Respect!! Got to be a silver medal if not a gold. 1 for attempting an 1800 mile round trip 2 for letting the battery drop to 4 I would have to take seat covers to even consider a trip like that :)

That test appears to result in it being it more or less amphibious :D

There are usually some systems that run even when the car is not working, particularly immobiliser and alarms (maybe other things with electric cars). So I suppose the main battery tops up the 12V battery. But I have to admit that is one hell of a lot of power to have drained - roughly...

I'm easy to please!! :ROFLMAO:
