    Radio Mutes after Announcements

    I’ve noticed that if the system is giving you an audio warning the direction indicators are silenced, if they coincide

    Door sill protectors

    I fitted some from one of the many sites online. Black carbon fibre with logo, although only on front doors, and I’m quite impressed.

    Voice button

    Does the voice button on the left of the steering wheel have any use in an mg3 hybrid when: a) there is no phone in car. b) there is an iPhone but not connected in any way by USB thus ruling out Car Play. And, is the phone button on the other side just for answering/closing phone calls.

    Parking without parking brake

    I’ll try that tomorrow, it’s bound to be raining. The garage is level so I don’t anticipate any movement.

    I’ve tried that, but when I switch the power off the EPB comes on.

    Parking without parking brake

    With the horrendous weather we’re having currently, I’m forever putting MG3 hybrid into the garage and parking with wet brakes. Consequently, every time I restart the car my brakes pads have stuck to the discs and it’s a bit disconcerting hearing, and feeling, them disengaging. Is there a way to...

    Ncap fail for mg3 hybrid

    I’ve booked mine in and they said they would need at least 4 hours, so they’re giving me a courtesy car. Unfortunately it’s not until January, mainly because they can only do one a day and I’m away for two weeks over the festive period.

    Unexplained alarm

    I got a similar alarm which I discovered was warning me of an old Gatko camera site, so I assumed it was linked to GPS mapping.

    Pleasant surprise

    It was obvious this morning from the snow on the ground that It was cold, but I was surprised that, when I powered up my mg3 hybrid, that it displayed an icy roads message on my instrument screen. This is because, having investigated, including my dealership, prior to the season, I found that...

    DAB Radio

    To be fair my Fiesta had a roof aerial. I’ve never had a car using rear window heater as an aerial.

    DAB Radio

    The DAB in my new, and first, MG3 hybrid+ is awful, compared to my previous Ford Fiesta. Mine sometimes won’t produce anything and when it does it keeps dropping out. I do have a rear dashcam, as well as forward facing, and have read that it may interfere with reception. I have yet to...

    Radio reception

    I’ve always had good reception in other cars except in hilly areas.

    Radio reception

    When listening to DAB radio in my MG3 hybrid+, it keeps fading in and out or pausing and then resuming with an apparent rewind. I could understand if I was out in the wilds, but it occurs in urban areas where I would expect good reception.
