What to know

The MG Metro and its 12V battery

On older MG Metro model years the fault is sometimes a corroded terminal, a tired earth strap or a weak alternator, not the battery itself, which is why the charging system is tested before we recommend a replacement.

The non-turbo 1.5 cars, such as the MG5 and most ZS versions, generally use a conventional maintenance-free flooded battery. Turbo models with automatic start-stop, including many HS, RX5 and MG7 versions, need an EFB or AGM battery to cope with repeated restarts. Electric and plug-in versions still carry a 12V auxiliary battery. We read the label on the battery already fitted and match technology and size rather than guessing from the model name.

On the petrol range the battery is in the engine bay, usually on the left side, and access is straightforward. Start-stop cars often have a sensor on the negative terminal that has to be refitted correctly and left undamaged. A scan-tool registration is not normally required, but start-stop can take a few drives to come back while the car relearns the new battery. We check terminal layout and the hold-down clamp, because a battery that is nearly the right size will work loose.

How it works

From your location pin to a car that starts

Four steps, and you know what is happening at each one. Nothing is fitted until the battery has been tested.

Send a location pin with the road name, direction of travel and the nearest exit or landmark. In a basement, add the level and bay.
2
Confirm the car details
Make, model and year, plus a photo of the battery label if you can. That is how the right battery gets loaded.
3
Get an arrival estimate

Test, then jump or replace
The technician tests the battery, explains the reading and carries out a jump start or a replacement. The car is started before he leaves.

Read all questions and answers

Which battery fits a MG Metro?

It depends on the model year and engine. Flooded on non-turbo cars, EFB or AGM where start-stop is fitted. Send the year and a photo of the current battery label, and we match the size, terminal layout and technology before dispatch.

Where is the battery on a MG Metro?

For MG in general: Engine bay on petrol models. The exact position on your MG Metro can vary by generation, and the technician confirms it from the model year before starting.

Does a MG Metro need battery registration after a change?

For MG: Not normally required. Start-stop relearns over a few drives. If your MG Metro needs it, the technician brings the tool and does it on site after fitting.

Can you jump-start a MG Metro instead of replacing the battery?

Often, yes. If the battery is only discharged and tests healthy afterwards, a jump start is enough. If the test shows it can no longer hold charge, we explain the reading and can replace it on the spot.
