It's simple. Do a Youtube search and you'll find the procedure. Might want to search on MG5 Towbar fitting as I think I saw a walk through of bumper removal on such a video.

None, I don't smoke at all and if I did, wouldn't do it inside my cars! Oh, have I misunderstood? you mean childishly racing other cars? Nope, never partake in that nonsense and I've owned some of the fastest cars over the decades from Nissan 300ZX twin turbo's to Audi S8's, a host of other...

I always think that if MG dealers are happy to sell cars at affinity pricing, they'll also sell them for that price to anyone who can haggle properly as well, at least at ends of months where they need to make up sales targets and such. Just offer to pay the affinity price as a serious buyer and...

Just remember regarding Aliexpress accessories, it's almost exclusively LHD stuff on there, so whereas things like mudflaps will be fine, floor mats and other RHD specific things wont be available.

Haha!, yes, sorry I slip into my old ways sometimes as I'm a retired financial consultant, so I really did used to be a money saving expert! :ROFLMAO:

My advice is to get smart and run your ZS PCP to it's end, then get yourself a 2 year old mint condition MGS5 for half the new price. Your payments will then be low enough to use a normal low cost loan or HP and you'll own the car outright by the time you're thinking of changing again and be...

Presumably the car was left outside?

As above, you can have them stripped and refinished as is your choice if you're out of warranty. I'm personally changing mine to a style I prefer as I don't like them anyway, they're far too "busy" for my taste and I don't like black and/or diamond cut wheels anyway. Bright silver is always the...

Indeed, diamond cut wheels really are a stupid idea, you can't expect to just lacquer over raw aluminium and have it last. I look forward to the trend ending and we can get back to normally painted wheels. (preferably silver too for me!)

No problem! Only an issue on the later diamond cut wheels as well, the earlier, properly painted silver wheels are unlikely to have an issue, barring damage that gets left.

I think it's going to be an epidemic!, seems to be lots of almost no mileage cars only a handful of months old suffering this.

Very good to know. Hopefully it will be just a bad batch and the new ones won't get the same issue.

No, the expectation of the surface finish in order for it to be fit for purpose is that it will remain corrosion free and cosmetically acceptable for a reasonably expected period of time. This is most certainly well over 1 year in all cases! To clarify You would be claiming that the painted...

Well if MG refused the warranty after Luscombe's submitted it, MG. The dealers undertake warranty work for payment, MG have to OK that work having checked it's part of warranty cover. I doubt you'll have a problem though, as it's clearly still under warranty and the wheel finish is clearly at fault.

They'll have to sort them out under warranty at the age of your car, and if they do refuse, they'll lose for sure if you take it to the small claims court as they're clearly not fit for purpose.
