Taken from the ncap site: However, the right-side seat adjuster of the driver’s seat failed in the test, causing it to twist halfway through the impact. New seat subframes ?

Did the seat mount break? Or was it to do with the sliding mechanism?

Got mine six weeks ago. I'm not in the UK. I spoke to my dealer this afternoon and he'd heard nothing, he was searching on the internet as we spoke, then told me to wait, it's all so fresh that no-one knows anything yet.

So why didn't the seats fail in the other crash tests? Could it have been incorrectly set??? Not quite clicked into it's place? This happens to me and you move off and position yourself in your seat and it clicks into place

From what I've read, it was only the offset crash test that failed. All the other tests of the other cars, because they don't only test one car, didn't fail !

Let's wait and see what MG do. If there is a fault then I think they will do a recall, but it's going to cost them. Does anyone know how many have been sold around the world?

I'm in France, they don't send to France, Iwill try HEKO

Do these reduce the horrendous wind and buffeting on the 3 hybride when driving with the windows open ?

Can't find any for the MG3 hybride+

But the gearbox is only used when you're going over 50 mph ? The high revs is the engine spinning the generateur to recharge the batteries and give the motor a boost.

Still haven't decided what I really think of the car. There are things that I just hate. Driving with the front window open is just impossible. The engine reving when there's not even a reason for the engine to be spinning. Sometimes even when going down a slope.

When I went to my dealer, all the cars had a thing stuck to the windscreen, it was a battery cutoff system to prevent the battery draining

eco mode only seems to lighten the steering for me

I odn't know where you were but here in the east of France MGs are everywhere.

Hi all, I must say, I've never had a car that makes so much noise and wind when driving with the front windows open more than a couple of inches, it's horrendous, almost impossible to do. Any idea why it's so bad ? Pete

I can actually drive over the lane and it won't beep at me, until it's had time to wake up, drink it's cofféé and rev it's nut off a couple of times !
