Recall done. Informed new seat bracket fitted + curtesy health check. FOC. Approx 45 mins total at Richmond MG Guilford. Pleasantly surprised to find them in a new premises next door with all the models displayed in the showroom, including a bright yellow cyberster. Really liked the IM5!

Praise again for Richmond MG (Guildford). Got my letter re recall on 24th Nov. Called them on 25th. Booked in for 4th Dec. I mentioned having to wait for the job to be done. Workshop manager called me last night after 1800 hrs and assured me the job would be done within an hour. He explained...

Not quite sure which 'beeps' you are referring to here. I think you may be hearing the fairly loud beep that is warning you about the latest HADECS 3 cameras, and not the excess speed warning which is adjustable. These cameras are smart, and detect you approaching. The beeps will start approx 30...

Quite disheartening to read about different people's frustrating experiences with MG dealerships. In contrast to the above, bought our 3 Hybrid Trophy in June 24. One year later I had the amber emissions warning light come up. Contacted my dealer (Richmond MG, Guildford). They booked in the car...

Same thing happened to me. I quickly realised it was much more preferable as gives a much better picture of what the car is actually doing (MPG wise) in real time, as opposed to giving an average over accumulated miles. A quick glance also tells me exactly how many miles I have covered going...

Not quite sure which 'beeps' you are referring to here. I think you may be hearing the fairly loud, and higher pitched, beep that is warning you about the latest HADECS 3 cameras, and not the excess speed warning which is adjustable. This stands for Highways Agency Digital Enforcement Camera...

Same problem on mine. Diagnosed on 24/6/25. No idea when they would get a replacement. Fortunately the warning light has now gone out, so at least my anxiety is not being triggered!

Unless I anticipate a long wait, I simply flick up the handbrake switch ( the little red light on the switch will come on) while still in drive. Auto releases as soon as you touch the throttle again to move off. Long wait, then I agree with Clive, put it in park, as above.

I had the same problem. Cured it with this from Amazon current price £6.99. . Has worked perfectly since purchase last July. Note: Research suggested shortest cable practical. CONMDEX USB C Cable Short 50cm/0.5M 10Gbps Data USB3.1 Gen2 Type C Android Auto Cable QC3.0 3.1A USB A to C Fast...

Only pumped up tyres because the pump supplied with car reads incorrectly. Pumped up to 2.5 bar on gauge only reads 2.3 on dash, so in cold weather went down to 2.2 bar resulting in warnings. Now find I have to pump up to 2.8 in order to get correct pressure. Purchase of a new digital gauge has...

Update on my previous post. The (suspected) rear suspension 'graunching' noise when going over speed bumps has mysteriously disappeared. Apart from adjusting tyre pressures, nothing else has been done to the car. It was however noted that the noise disappeared on the same day that the outside...

Hi ash24x. Yep, mine doing the same now. After over 6 months of quiet, took car out yesterday and the 'grauch' is there when going over speed bumps. I have to drive over six of them before I reach the main road. Quite pronounced and really annoying! N.B. No (sleeping) policemen were harmed in...

This is why my wife calls our car 'Wallace' !

Brilliant! I think we all need a little reminder as we get older. Due to my job, I was tested annually by an ex police examiner until I retired six years ago, so still pretty confidant. However, I downloaded the Highway Code last summer out of interest and I really don't think I could pass the...

In answer to your question, only covered 1000 mls to date, or 1610 km. So very moderate use to date with no problems. My head goes into meltdown as soon as the subject of MPG comes up, due to the somewhat confusing habit of trying to combine imperial measures with metric. Over here in the UK we...
