    That's a handy piece of information, thanks for this. I asked the dealer if there was a paper handbook and he said no it's all online is that true?

    Tow-Hitch for new MG3 hyybrid

    Has anyone had any information on availability and possible pricing of a tow-hitch for the new MG3? I would dearly like to place an order, had a test drive this week but I need a tow-hitch for my bike rack and small trailer. The homologation sticker on the door of the test vehicle I tried...

    Ideally I would like one for a week to really see, but dealers don't like that idea. Hire companies locally have never heard of MG's for hire....

    No the Leaf is terrible with it's beeps. If you leave the driver's door open it does this incessant nerve-grating beep beep that never stops. It's by far and away the worst car I've ever had for beeping at you. @Robf You mention the ZS is easier to get in and out - is the MG4 poor in this...

    OK that's a given, but we are all individuals, and she has zero spatial awareness, when driving she is fixed on the view ahead, has absolutely no idea what is going on behind or to either side of her. It is frightening, and I really worry when she takes out my little granddaughter in the car.

    There is nowhere near enough room for my barrel-chest (at least that's what I call it!) to fit down the side. I would have to connect the car end first with the lead then connect to the podpoint after reversing in. Not really practical, I suppose I could connect it then stick the other end in...

    Check out my garage-it really needs a good clearout, but in order for drivers to be able to exit from their doors, one car needs to drive in, and one needs to reverse. My dear daughter-in-law when we first moved into this house asked my son when she saw the garage said "will I have to turn the...

    Well that sorts it out, the MG4 is no good for my garage set-up.

    A heartfelt thanks to all of you that replied to my queries. I will have to investigate and see what are the major differences between the ZS and the MG4. The next step is to try and twist my local dealers arm to let me try one out for a week or so before taking the plunge. I do have a home...

    Hi all, I've been considering the long-range MG as a replacement for my ageing Leaf Tekna. I have been very happy leafing along for the past 4 years, I really love the Leaf. Range and price are now major considerations, and rule out a new Leaf as range is much less than the MG. Nissan are...
