That's a good point, thanks for the reminder.

Well I sympathise with the sentiment, I also wish it were different and I understand your experience has been different to mine. But there's no practical help in what you say, since insisting it should be different is something I have tried before. Not standing for it doesn't get me anywhere...

It is a sealed LED unit, so there is no obvious plug and my experience with LEDs is when there is flickering it is usually component failure (eg a capacitor on the circuit board). If I can find a plug I will try that, but if I have to disassemble too much to get at that, I likely won't bother.

As far as I know all the dealers near me do. But I can ring around to see if that has changed. Worth a try.

MG are not like that. The warranty has tons of limitations and exclusions in the small print, so a lot of things are not covered for even 3 years (eg 12 months on the interior), as I found out with my footrest and the leather splitting on my driver's seat. It is a low cost model, which is why...

Yes, I get that many people would want to have it working. Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer that, but it isn't like a DRL - it isn't required legally - and I am loathed to keep paying these fees just to be told stuff isn't covered. Anyone had one of these replaced under warranty after 2+ years...

Good point Clive, I shall consult the engineering manuals to see what is involved.

Well, past experience says: £100+ diagnostic fee (applies if car more than 3 months old) to then be told it isn't covered at this point in the warranty and will cost £100s of pounds to fix. They will insist on the diagnostic ("in case it is a loose connection"). Not keen to go down that route...

My rear light bar seems to be failing. It is flickering on the left hand side and the zig-zag pattern on top is flickering. I don't know if this has anything to do with condensation but I have always had condensation in the bar and it never fully goes away even in summer. After my last...

That is certainly part of the reason, although not everyone who wants range will be persuaded by performance as an alternative. Will be interesting to see what they do, they could replicate both variants for the MGS5, or maybe not.

I expect they will make one, particularly for Australian market. Whether MGUK bring it here may depend on their view of sales, apparently the MG4 ER hasn't sold many at all, so they may deem it not worth offering.

They may rate it like that but I think that is silly. My MG4 has less range than that and is perfect for long distance travel. Are there people who drive 300 miles without stopping? Yes, but it is a tiny minority (in the UK).

Can anyone who has finished their MG finance share with us what the process was like in detail?

You don't need to do anything before it is due, or once they've assessed the car. I can't speak to what Santander's policy is as I've not financed with them before.

Well, hopefully you will have a good experience. The thing is, technically it is their car, you are just looking after it for the finance company and are responsible for it while you "own" it, including regular servicing, tyres, fixing things that break etc... It only becomes "our" car if we...
