Yep 10th letter is the manufacturing year letter and as its P is either 1993 or 2023That surprises me because my car was with the dealer before the end of January.
Yes I know that but we're discussing manufacturing dateLSJ = MG Motor UK Limited - SAIC Motor, Shanghai, China
It seems that MG ignores the ISO standard. The 10e position should be N (2022) instead of P (2023), showing the build year or the model year.That surprises me because my car was with the dealer before the end of January.
Mine says N for the 10th character and was built September 2022, the rules state that if a vehicle is manufactured in December of a year it is permissible to use the following years letter identifier along as the vehicle won't be sold prior to January 1st of the VIN year given.It seems that MG ignores the ISO standard.

FWIW the VIN for mine is LSJWH4099NN1xxxxx. Mine was built late August 2022. (Can't recall the exact date).
I don't think they have any prestige left to save. Nobody trusts a word they say anymore.I don't believe in 'the luck of the draw', I believe that the oil leak has to do with a certain production range and that MG has already solved the problem. If so, it is to find out where the 'clipping point' is. In Germany in the begin of march was a collective recall to hopefully solve the leak problem. Maybe the N1 assembly plant gives a direction? Maybe a serie range of the first or the second batch of an specific type? I think MG knows which cars give the leak and which cars don't. To find the clipping point, if I am right, our only proof can be found in the VIF code because MG seems to give us 'the luck of the draw' feel to save money and to save prestige?
I agree that they have done more than just the new breather pipe. I would suggest an internal "baffle" or deflector has been installed to stop the oil going into the breather but they have not been proactive or brave enough to recall cars before this was fitted to try to save face from the earlier BS regarding overfill. Time will tell. Probably a cost saving excercise too.Agree, they are doing a very bad job in the after sales. However ... maybe the 'P' of the production year is the clipping point?
A couple of 'maybes' there. I don't believe there is a 'clipping point' or that anything has changed regarding the breather fitting since inception apart from those that have now been fitted with a 'modified' breather that may or may not work.I don't believe in 'the luck of the draw', I believe that the oil leak has to do with a certain production range and that MG has already solved the problem.

Neither did we.I never got a plastic wallet in the glove box.
Just had text this morning from Dealer - Part is in 'already' I thought - That was 'QUICK' - So I'm wondering if its this mod >?<
