I do feel your pain - believe me, when you get it sorted, you should be really happy with the car. Including its handling. Do you have another dealer you could approach as well as contacting MG. Make sure, and I'm sure you will, about the dealer's insulting comment about battery and motor...

I'm now at just under 22k miles in 14 months and I can't say I've noticed any 'pulling to the left' issues. I run the tyres at 2.4 bar cold and tyre wear is extremely low for a quite heavy car that does corner very well... I presume you've checked tyre pressures etc (physically rather than...

I seem to recall reading on here some time ago, that someone had fitted front mudflaps to their HS PHEV after modifying them to sit round the side steps. I bought a set through Ali Express and only fitted the rear ones. In practice, I think the side steps keeps a lot of the side spray down -...

I was out today and all the speed limit recognitions were working again - ie national limits have reappeared (60 and 70). Will see what happens tomorrow. I normally run Google maps through Car Play and it's surprising how often the MG database/camera system differs from Google maps - and that...

I'm not sure when it changed, but it used to be possible to hear the indicator click at the same time as warning bongs. I reckon it happened during an FOTA update - I'm sure it still worked after my dealer SW update in May to R62.

Good to hear the software is continuing to be updated, hopefully the updates will feed though to earlier cars eventually. I'm guessing that FOTA updates do occur (hence the now it works, now it doesn't) situation with the car but, as with most manufacturers' major software updates have to be...

My HS PHEV Trophy has recently lost the ability to recognise the 'national speed limit' sign. This means it recognises everything from 20 - 50 mph but when going past a national speed limit sign, it remains at the last limit sign it recognised. It first did it a couple of weeks ago, then it...

Agreed - 1400 rpm is the ICE warm up rpm from my experience. Also, it won’t switch off until it’s warmed up, even if you have ‘EV’ mode selected. In fact I can’t recall seeing it idle at less than 1400 (not sure I’ve looked!) as normally, once warmed up, it’ll switch off unless it needs to...

I’ve now had a PCT removable hitch fitted by Banbury Alarm and Towbar Services: https://banburyalarmandtowbar.co.uk/ Good job by Tony who came to my house to fit it. Not confined to Banbury! Not used it yet. Plenty of clearance to the bumper. I’ll posit some pictures when I’m near better WiFi!

I’ve had that once after going down a gravel track. It does sound like you’re towing 2 tonne of scrap metal… Tried reversing etc but it didn’t work. I could see the small stone caught in the near side rear brake disc back plate. I managed to poke it out with a screwdriver. Handy having big...

There’s no ride adjustment - standard passive dampers fitted. Steering is changed to Sport mode with a separate selection - weights up the steering. Throttle response is much sharper. Fuel/energy consumption only changes over Normal if you press your right foot down more!

All very fair but mostly subjective points and no issue with that. Personally, I prefer the feel of the steering (and drive mode) in Sport mode. The steering wheel I'm fine with and, as mentioned previously, I use the left star key for regen high/low - regen isn't as strong as in the Superb iV...

Initially, my 2025 HS PHEV would show 75 mile estimated range with a 100% charge. After13k miles, it now normally shows 73 miles estimated range after the 100% charge. I'm not fussed that the perceived range indicator has dropped two miles. The ICE will kick in normally with around 6 miles of...

I use the left star key to flip from high to low regen and on mine it does stay to what is selected on shut down/start up. I do seem to recall that if you cycle through the various drive modes, 'comfort' (or whatever it's called) puts it into low regen. I may have made that up though - I'll...

I duct-taped a rubber flap just underneath the socket, open the flap, rubber flap falls down (duct tape 'hinge') and the socket cover sits on that. Thought about covering the socket cover in velvet like Fablon (sticky backed plastic...) but not done that yet.
