Hi All,
I posted a thread ages ago with regards to a fault I have with my heater. Basically there are seven gradients you can have on the output of the heater counting each red bar that shows on the screen. I used to (I think, as it was over 4 months ago) get useful heat coming out of the heater at 2/3 bars showing and even during winter I can't remember having to go higher.
One snowy and very wet night coming from Glasgow to Dumfries on the motorway I noticed my feet were suddenly getting cold and on investigation whilst driving I found that heat would only be produced when the heater was on maximum i.e. all seven red bars showing and no heat was produced AT ALL on 1-6 bars. The problem with that was when heat was coming out it was too hot.
Anyway car went into the MG dealer in Mar some time to get fixed. It was only driving away from the dealership (after they informed me that it was all ok) that if was found that they had not fixed it. On arrival back at the dealer some dimwit service guy was trying to tell me "the engine needs to heat up sir". After some fruity response from myself they agreed it was not working.
I am now taking the car back on the 30th Jun to try and get it fixed and also to get the Software Comfort Pack Update (I was a bit worried on getting it, but those who have had it do not seem to report ANY problems) at a cost of just over £80 even though I bought the car from them. I have a couple of question that I hope could be answered on the forum, firstly can anyone please confirm that the 3 rapid beeps of the hour have now gone under all circumstances (except maybe trying to lock the car with the keys inside, which I don't mind) and secondly can someone please do a check on their heater and confirm that heat does come out from about 1-3 bars (please note during the test, don't crank it up to maximum and then go down to 1-3 as this is what the garage did I think, when testing the heating system and the residual heat from the maximum setting made them think that the heater was working).
Thanks, and I hope someone has the time to do this little check and respond to the 3 beeps of the horn question (the only thing that really annoys me about the car).
Regards
Frank
