Well this is a bit of a rant, so appologies. I am a new v7iii owner but before this gets moved my rant is non model specific. I currently own a Desert Sled alongside the MG and wanted a long legged bike that was reliable and fun to ride. I am just coming up on the first service and planning a trip to Morocco when restrictions ease and in my reading came across the exploding fuel filter. So, if the comments are true, this can be a disabling fault that 'blows' at any time and cannot be easily inspected. What has upset me, again if numerous posts are to be believed, the filter is specified by the manufacturer as for diesel use and non imersion. So what on earth prompted MG to use it for petrol and immersed in the tank? As I said, very disappointed. So I will source the correct filter and, no doubt, invalidate my warranty by fitting the part that MG should have used in many models in the first place. Rant over, sorry.
