    Is MG warranty a sham?

    Remember, MGUK is not above the law, you have rights as a consumer and no matter what MG would prefer or what they put in writing, if the item is faulty and that item should be expected to last longer than it has you can take them to court. I've done it twice, once with Ford and once with...
