Nice thanks for that will call them on monday

They are 3 hours away. But will call them and get a quote

Anyone know of an independant garage that could do a 3 yr service on an mg5 with 155000 miles. Looked at Mr Clutch anyone used these?

Thats what i thought the plan was to run it into the ground. I will have retired in 2 years anyway.

Update on my service. I went to MG in Southend after they quoted £164 for the 3 yr service( MG Basildon qupted me £310). When i arrived they took the car into the workshop and then told me the service would be £1300. The reason was because it is a Taxi. Please all comments appreciated. TIA

Hi all, Im sure this has been asked a million times. Am I correct in thinking the original bulbs are HB3 9005. I have just bought HB 3 9006 and they dont fit. It seems as you twist the bulb in place the black plastic lugs are different sizes? They are smaller on the new bulbs. Can anyone help?

So todays update. Battery now showing 14.1 v .Think Santa must have changed the battery overnight.

So my other post today was about my 12v battery showing 12.5v when i srart the car after a full charge. I contacted MG in Basildon and they qupted me £315 plus £175 to fine out why my battery is showing 12.5v . I then phoned MG in Southend told them the issues and got a quote of £175 . MG...

Hi all. Yesterday i got in my MG5 and started the car. 12v battery showed 12.5v I thought when you put the car on charge it also charged the 12v battery? Am I wrong or do i have a problem. I have got a trickle charger on it at the minute. TIA

Im in the U.K and mine has started doing the same. Shows outside temperature as -3 to -30 then changes to -20. Every 15 mins its up and down. Any help please
