Sorry to hear of your issues John. I've heard of a few reliability problems with MGs, but this one seems to be particularly intractable. According to
https://www.ceoemail.com, the head of MG Motors in the UK is hao.wang@mg.co.uk, you could try writing to them?
No consolation to you of course, but our Mini continues to impress us. It's now 4 ½ years old, has been completely faultless, costs 2p/mile to run and shows no degradation in range from the battery. We did 100 miles on a day out last week and still had an indicated 40 miles range when we got home.
