My MG3 Update thread.

[Alan_G]

Just thought I would start a thread updating my living with my MG3 for the benefit of anyone interested in getting one or just generally interested.

I am now over 1000 miles in her after the first month! A wee bit more than my normal monthly mileage, but I have been having fun and away up North etc.

The drivers side DRL stopped working on the 15/11/13. I popped the car straight up to the garage as I was off. They said that according to the workshop manual the whole bumper has to come off to remove the light. They checked all appropriate connections and fuses and couldn't see any problems so have ordered another.

I couldn't get it back in for fitting until today. They replaced BOTH of them on the advice of MG. Full DRL light unit was faulty. I spoke to the head mechanic and he said he did not know what the cause was but that MG advised replacing both when he phoned up for parts. He said it sounded like a manufacturing fault on a particular batch perhaps. Of course this is not confirmed. I would advise all owners to keep and eye on their DRLs just in case as there is no indication on the dash that they are not working, it needs to be visually checked.

Service wise, first class, got a lift to and from the train station, car was fully valeted for pick up.
