    Now for something completely different…

    Thanks for the positive responses and likes, much appreciated… Some forums are a bit snooty about these things…

    Now for something completely different…

    This may well get taken down, because TBH it’s got absolutely nothing to do with MG or the IM5!!! However, given the very positive response by the very friendly bunch of contributors on this forum, particularly when I posted the a pictures of my Genesis Electrified G80 under the Ceramic coating...

    Ceramic Coating

    Well I, perhaps not surprisingly have a whole range of different products from different brands. I am currently using shampoo pre wash and post wash products from an Italian brand called Labocosmetica for the exterior bodywork. The car, beyond the PPF application from Xpel (self healing), has a...

    IM5/IM6 Improvement requests?

    I for one, will be interested in reading about your experience at the dealer if you do end up back there. My concern with MG was the distinctly budget mindset when it came to customer service. Something that maybe acceptable when the cars are at the budget end of the market, but when selling...

    Ceramic coating

    As I've alluded to before, the whole subject of car paintwork maintenance and detailing is totally subjective. I am an admitted complete obsessive nutter that is bothered by the slightest imperfections. I have shown pictures on this forum of my now three and half years old Genesis Electrified...

    Can’t locate auto high beam/dip on my IM5

    IMO MGUK specifically, take from SAIC whatever MG cars that they sell in in Australia. Given that they are already designed and built in RHD, there is not much needed to make them meet UK type approval. As I have said many times before undoubtedly fantastic value for money, but you have to...

    Ceramic Coating

    Thanks...thanks to the badge design, and that the head of design at Genesis used to occupy the same job at Bentley so perhaps stole some styling ideas, most think it's either a Bentley or Aston Martin. I'm not complaining considering it cost half the price!!!

    Ceramic Coating

    You don’t want to end up like me. It starts to take over your life!!😳😳 A few pictures of my big car following just such a wash - I need to check it under strong artificial light as well aarrgghhh…!!!! Still my cars always make a great buy for the next owner - my big car a Genesis Electrified G80...

    Ceramic Coating

    Being a bit of an amateur detailer, partly because I am totally obsessive about keeping my cars perfect (!), I think it's important to mention the requirement for a proper wash technique. There are plenty of videos that explain the two bucket method, grit guards, snow foam, lambswool mits, PH...

    Mg3 hybrid gone

    After 18 months I got rid of my MG3 HYBRID TROPHY and replaced it with a BYD DOLPHIN SURF COMFORT. An all electric car which is not surprisingly very quiet, and very good value with some very good deals at the moment. As I've said on here before, generally a cut above the distinctly budget MG3...

    Engine emissions fault

    Well to answer your concerns directly - all the service department does is open a case with MG UK Technical. They then have to wait for instructions as to what to do. At least the dealer is doing the decent thing in terms of alternate transport, and whilst i dont mean to be impolite about the...

    Engine emissions fault

    My issue began in Sept 24 (took delivery in May, as one of the first customers), and i was going back and forth for a couple of months. Then in December, after the faulthad vanished for a bit, the dealer contacted me to explain they wanted to fit a new EGR valve. Ironically before the car was...

    wind and road noise

    I know how you felt!! Its a bit like driving along in second gear at 25 MPH, which is in effect what the three speed autobox is doing. Over the eighteen months I had my MG3, whilst I always maintain it was fantastic value for money, it began to dawn on me, that everything about the car was done...

    Squeaky rear suspension over speed humps - returns!

    My car had so many squeaks and creaks - particularly from the drivers seat, in the end I didn't bother mentioning it. In fact i was under the impression that as far as MG UK were concerned, those issues weren't covered by warranty. Of course noise was always something present for me on nearly...

    Finally given up!

    You make a great point about being attracted to the cars, and I was certainly guilty of that when I got my MG3. Whilst easy for me say now, and taking the loss in value after 18months was a bitter pill to take,I think the Alarm bells were ringing even before I bought the car, but we're being...
