How to Prevent the DC-DC Converter of the Mg 3 from Getting Wet

Model: MG 3 MK 1 - Years 2008-2011
Part: Checks and maintenance

As shown clearly in the video, the area under the seat has gotten wet, causing the Mg3 to not start since the DC-DC converter is located under the seat, in this case, in the water. To prevent this from happening again, you need to relocate the converter. Remove the front seat and side panels to take off the upholstery and access the converter. Disconnect the electrical connector and unscrew the converter from its housing. As shown in the video, you will need to position it on the side bar once the carpet is replaced. Bolt it to the body using a drill and screws.
