    Parking without parking brake

    I had the same problem. When you park up select N, depress the footbrake and hold down the parkbrake button as you switch off. The EPB and red light will stay off. The gearbox will prevent movement with the engine off. You can set and release the EPB by moving the button up and down when the...

    Ncap fail for mg3 hybrid

    After receiving my recall letter, I booked the car in for Friday 16th January at my local MG Dealer. I arrived, booked the car in and gave them the key. 5 minutes later the guy returned with my key to tell me they'd run out of the part. I'm waiting for them to call me back 😒

    Which option would you go for?

    I bought my 2025 Trophy new last May on a PCP, so I got £750 deposit contribution from MG. I made one payment on the PCP and then settled the finance. In total the car cost me £19,849. As Salty says, it's great picking up and driving a brand new car 👍

    Ncap fail for mg3 hybrid

    That's surprising. Mine's booked into Unity MG Coventry in January, and they told me I can wait, as it will take less than an hour.

    Ncap fail for mg3 hybrid

    I've just received a recall letter from MG Motor UK about the drivers seat latch mechanism. I phoned my local dealer Unity, in Coventry UK and got through straight away. I'm booked in for Friday 16th January 2026, and the service department said it should take less than an hour to fix, so I'm...

    Replacement Windscreen Wipers

    Just out of interest, did you get the correct size blades? They sent me a 17" (45mm) instead of the OE 19" (48mm) but they sent a correct replacement when I told them. Hopefully they've got it right now.

    Service costs over 5 years.

    I took out a 3 year service plan for my Trophy with local MG dealer Unity Automotive, when I purchased it in May 2025. I pay monthly and it totals £1036.80. Included is a years MG Assistance after each service.

    Touch up paint unavailable

    Have a look at this seller. He mixed this tri-coat touch up for me and it's a perfect match. Best to message first with your reg and paint code to check he can mix Hamstead Grey 👍 https://www.mgevs.com/threads/dynamic-red-touch-up-paint.21944/

    Steering wheel position

    I think I get the warning because my steering wheel is 360° off straight, but the road wheels are almost on full left lock. I drive away in this position to negotiate my curved driveway.

    Steering wheel position

    I always reverse onto my curved driveway, and leave the car with left hand lock. The steering wheel is horizontal to fit my Stoplock so I get the warning when I start up. Nothing to worry about, it's just letting you know the front wheels aren't straight 👍

    Replacement Windscreen Wipers

    The 19" MG Blade arrived today, so all good 👍 It was worth a bit of "faffing", as I just wanted a spare set. There's nothing wrong with my existing blades, so to buy from the main stealer, sorry I should have said dealer, would have cost à small fortune 😉

    Tyre pressure warning light

    True 👍 I set mine to 37 psi as it was a very cold morning and I knew the pressure would increase as normal temperatures were reached. Not a bad guess, as they're now at 37.8 psi!

    Tyre pressure warning light

    Hi, mine came on last week when it was very cold. I inflated all to 37psi and after driving a short distance, the warning switched off. All still OK and showing 37.8 psi on all four tyres. The warnings remain in the iSmart app until you delete them.
