Does anyone have a clue as to how many MG3+ cars have been affected by this issue ( percentage wise) ? And how soon does this fault appear ? My car was bought second hand @ 9 months and ~ 9000 miles ,having been used initially as a demonstrator and latterly by a salesman at the dealership. I had...

This thread reminds me of the situation when I got a new company car ( Vauxhall Omega), in the 90s. After a year the rudimentary sat nav system built in ,flagged up the need for a paid sub. , I believe ,~ £70. I didn't really need it, so asked my company whether I could claim the cost on...

Had my modification done this morning. Took just under an hour - hopefully it's solved the issue for good!

Had a letter this morning, dated 17th, asking me to schedule an appointment to have the work carried out asap

I was caught out by this yesterday morning on my MG3 Hybrid +. First warning was forward collision disabled, then a couple of others came up. Cleared after a couple of minutes then reoccurred. Only when I stopped and looked at the alarm log ,did the camera get a mention! Quite clearly fogged up...

Had the same problem on day 1 when I picked mine up. After researching the manual , discovered what the the issue was ! Front offside tyre ! I've pumped all 4 tyres up and ,even though the pressure reading on the screen hasn't changed , the alarms have cleared - still clear after 2 weeks.

My wife will not drive my MG3. She is insured but the automatic & "systems" have got her scared silly. She is going to stick with her little Suzuki Splash until she or it fall apart :LOL:

Found that the back nearside window was open a few inches this morning without any alarms coming up. One, should the car even lock with a window open and two,is there a way of getting the app to show all windows status, not just driver's window ?

Got rid of a 2010 Kia Proceed Strike - wasn't high mileage but at the last MOT, The mechanic told me that the running gear was looking pretty poor ie suspension, steering etc , very rusty and getting noisy. Couldn't trust it outside local mileage The MG is like a starship compared with a 16...

But the door button isn't live unless the fob is detected.

Both keyfobs are going in the Faraday box tonight LOL

Experimented this morning. Either the fob goes to sleep or the battery is weak, because the car wouldn't unlock with key on the ground next to car after 10 minutes inactivity.

Another newbie question - what are the tolerances on the tyre pressures ? Today, drove to get petrol and noticed on the way back, that there were alarm symbols up. Stopped in a layby to consult the (enormous) manual to find that the right front was showing 2.4 bar . Just wondering whether to...

Can't find any info on this. Just purchased a 10 month old MG3 hybrid + Trophy. Am I right in thinking that the fob becomes inactive after x seconds ? To prevent man in the middle style hacks whilst the car is locked on my drive at night. I have a "Faraday" box that I keep the spare keyfob in...

Just bought a 10 month old MG3 Hybrid+ from a main dealer in Cardiff (Nathaniels) .. They are offering a service plan @ £799 for 2/3/4 year services (having done the 1st service as part of the deal) also including "free" MOTs for life and annual AA roadside assistance , provided that I use one...
