Hello good people.

I have made a new sub reddit for the newer generation of MG cars. If you have an MG from 2007 and onwards, (this means all new cars also), come on over to the new community so we dont have to mix the english made cars with the chinese made cars.

I am trying to make it a place to talk about news, technical questions, styling, and experiences. Give it a look, and tell a friend.

Peace.

I yall! Im looking for one front hydragas sphere once my right one has decided to die. Im from Portugal so buy things that are shipped from the UK is something that im trying to avoid (brexit and extra taxes) If you know anyone that are selling these kind of things in EU countries it would help a lot! Ty

Hi everyone, just picked up a used MG yesterday and trying to get to grips with all the bells and whistles I've browsed the user manual but I don't see mention of these things so hoping some enlightened brains here can help!!

1. Key fob locking - everything locks as I would expect, but I often forget if I actually locked the car and press the lock button again - this then sets the indicators flashing seemingly indefinitely. I assume this is some kind of "find my car" feature, but rather than assume wanted to double check. And is there any way to stop it? The only way I have found is to unlock and relock which seems inefficient

2. Is there any way to drop the screen brightness? I can find it for the driver dash but not for the infotainment. Driving home from the garage it seemed very bright

3. Engine auto off. Is there a definitive cause that makes this work? I asked the dealer and they said it had a mind of it's own and I've not managed to make it work yet... I'm wondering if it's faulty or just finicky

I may have more questions as I explore the car, but appreciate any help on the above in the meantime!!

Edit: couple more Q's following a long drive yesterday

a - are the rain sensors rubbish? Mine didn't seem to kick in at all and had to go manual. Guess there's no way to adjust sensitivity

b - the auto headlights came on a little late for my liking, most other cars already had lights on - can you adjust the level they come on at?

c - is there a way to display android auto side by side with the radio? (So you can see the artist / station etc while using Waze)

d - is there a way to make next station buttons only switch between favourites (as opposed to every single dab station?). Made worse by not knowing what station you end up on!

e - I saw something in the manual about lane assist but to the best of my knowledge during 4hr journey yesterday it didn't kick in...

Thanks

Hi all, just waiting for my new indicator stalk for my MGF 2001 to turn up before fitting. I had a complete indicator fail on the week. Fuse is OK, flasher unit replaced and last year had loom replaced due to fuse popping when I turned right.

But is there any checks I should do whilst I have these connectors exposed?

said rather not reconnect the battery until I refit the airbag, but any guidance appreciated.

Just crossing my fingers the stalk unit is the fix 🤞

Hi all, hope you’re well! 🥰

So I’ve had my 04’ MG TF since the start of summer, she’s my first car bought as a birthday gift from my incredible partner. Previously I’ve always been more of a bike girl but he’s a massive car guy and so has slowly been converting me lol 😂 I’ve been learning to drive her and in the process have absolutely fallen in love with her, she’s my baby and I’ve been making small mods here and there; mostly to the interior so far.

Now, I’m sure I’m going to upset some purists with this one but I’m thinking about doing some mods to the outside too. So far I’ve done a bit of paint work to make some bits black to match with the black soft top and I’ve put a splitter on her; not necessarily because she needs the aero or anything but because I like how it looks 😅 I’ve seen some cute heart shaped exhaust tips (yes I know, they’re unnecessary and a lot of people will hate them but I don’t care because I think they’re cute!) and a few other bits and pieces to customise her a little more. I’m also looking into getting a hard top for the winter and upgrading or restoring the rear windscreen in the soft top as it’s pretty cloudy and hard to see out of 😅

What I haven’t seen however is much in the way of body kits like you do for other cars. My partner has a mk3 MX5 and there seems to be billions of options for that so I was wondering if there are any good options for TF’s? What I’d ideally like to do is a slight wide body, nothing too crazy but I have this vision in my mind of her being a bit wider behind and tapering in at the front. My partner isn’t totally onboard with the idea but says it’s my car so as long as I’m happy he’s happy (he’s a smart man lol). I don’t really know how to go about doing this so I was wondering if you guys had any ideas? 😅 I’m very new to this whole car thing and being an artist by trade, I seem to have a compulsive need to customise everything I own 😂

Any leads or advice would be gratefully received! Thanks in advance 💜

Just wondering if anyone out there has a scanned copy of a workshop manual for a M1 MGF they might be willing to share

Looking to get an MG A and do a Le Mans style recreation. I was hoping to swap in the rover V8, but I don't know that it would fit. I see some people do swaps with Japanese engines but I'd like to have an older engine in it. Also looking at possibly a Jaguar engine. Or would the best path be to build up the factory engine?

Hey y'all, I'm currently rebuilding my carb for my '75 MGB and I'm wondering if there's any upgrades I can do to maybe get some more power out of it. No real reason I just like to modify things and tinker. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Morning all. The wife took all the controls off to clean them and now all the little metal tabs are missing so the knobs just spin 😂 Anyone know of a replacement part or a bridge to get them running?

Is this normal?

I have a MG ZS 215 50 r17 tires which is already worn out and I want to increase the tire size to 215 55 r17. Is it okay or the change in speedometer and fuel efficiency greatly affected? any experience or opinion is welcome. thanks!

Hi everyone. I'm a new cyclist and own an MG4 standard range (without trophy spoiler). I've never bought a bike rack before and I'm looking for any advice on finding one that will fit my MG4. Thanks!

Hello all,

Just bought an MG3 2019 in the UK and loving th car so far. Was advised the car comes with Android Auto which I have come to find is not true.

Is anyone aware of a way of having Android Auto on this car or a replacement aftermarket system which would?

Hey all

Feel free to point me toward a more appropriate sub if you think you know how this might get resolved sooner.

So I’ve had my new MG4 essence 64 since last Friday and have ironed out most of the infotainment issues, with the exception of one. The iSMART app (iPhone edition).

So in a nut shell I’ve managed to bind and unbind the car a few times to the app but each time I get that far I can’t seem to engage any of the remote features, but instead get messages like the following.

Please help! 😭

Hi! I use a 2023 Mg HS Phev in Europe/Hungary. Is it possible to activate iSMART somehow, or any other way to cool/heat the car remotely?

I believe that iSMART works in Asia with this car. But I don't see the QR code on the display. No iSMART menu:(

Hi all,

currently driving MG ZS, bought new couple of months ago, and now its time to buy a set of winter tires.

I choose Kleber Kristal HP3 as I have really good experience with them.

Question is :

Factory tire size is 215/50 r17

Can I fit 215/55 r17, or 205/55 r17 without any changes ?

I have got a new MG HS Phev Trophy just last week. It has now an entirely new design.

However there is just one issue that s bothering me which was inherited from the old model. The front parking sensors do not activate unless you put the car into reverse mode first.

The manual also talks about a "parking assist button" that I could not find anywhere.

Is it possible to activate the front sensors at all time so long as say the driving speed is under 15 km/h.

Hi all, in August I bought a 2024 MG3. I'm a Google pixel user (up to date android, android auto inbuilt) and have been trying to use android auto which the salesman said my car supported. I have usb and cannot get anything to connect beyond the Bluetooth calling and there's no button on my screen. All I want is to use Google maps!! Am I missing something or have I been lied to? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I just bought a new MG HS, and I have one issue with it. Especially in the morning when I leave the garage, after 15km/h it locks and immediately honks, blinks and unlocks while I am on the go. I have to mention that I keep the key in the cup holder, not in the pocket. Does anyone else have similar problem? And what is to do about it?
