My Dad got a new car recently (a MG HS). Since getting it the radio hasn't worked properly. He cant store DAB pre-sets and the FM radio has no RDS. Obviously these aren't major issues but more annoying.
Apparently, this is a known issue and a result of the Ukraine/Covid chip issues, i.e. the radio wasn't built properly. Despite this being a known and accepted issue, there is no fix and the MG garage haven't offered any kind of compensation. He has tried badgering them but they wont do anything. He has tried sending letters and contacted Trading Standards but isn't getting anywhere.
Obviously this isn't a major issue, like the brakes not working, but is there anything he can do or expect? Ultimately he has bought a new car and it doesn't work as it should.
