I can confirm in France the spec is for a 21.4kWh battery, 277bhp and 62.5 mile battery range. My car will run from 75 miles right down to zero, and run on zero in full ev mode for some distance before the motor cuts in. Having said that the best actual range I've got out of it is 69 miles, but...

Same here, January 2025.

In Milton Keynes, famous for its roundabouts, there are some larger roundabouts that have a 40mph speed limit. When you come off the roundabout onto a 60mph grid road there is a large radius bend and the car's camera will pick up the derestriction sign on the island separating the incoming...

Probably not an issue here in France. Memories of the MR2 lack of sales due to it's meaning may drive people away in France. HS is the standard abbreviation for Hors Service, translated - Out of Order 🤦‍♂️

I've just had a play with mine and I can see the problem. It looks as though you have to release 3 or 4 of the quick release screws to provide enough flex in the plastic apron panel to provide enough clearance to lift off the fuse box cover. Good luck seeing clearly the fuses under the apron cover!

I obtained a (free for the first month) BP Pulse subscription which gave me a cheaper unit rate (44p from memory) and this bought me the time to obtain a wallbox. I then cancelled the subscription. The RFID card still works but without the monthly payment the unit rate is around 66p per unit...

My car came with one of the programmable steering wheel buttons set to switch on the forward facing cameras.

This is the level of regeneration braking, 1 is light and 2 is heavy retardation.

I completed a journey at the weekend from Portsmouth to La Rochelle in France via Newhaven- Dieppe in my HS PHEV.. I emptied the battery between Portsmouth and Newhaven and since I hadn't filled the petrol tank since 6th June the petrol purchased in Newhaven gave me an average consumption of...

I use the Hypervolt app for the charger. From nearly empty three hours will take the car to around 70 miles which is good enough for day to day running whilst an occasional schedule charge of three and half hours will fill the battery and provide a bit extra to equalise the cells.

I charge every three days so I went for a wallbox. The hypervolt app is excellent, giving me full control over the charge scheduling. The car only needs three and a bit hours to fully charge from empty so I have set up 2am to 5am, that way I don't need to change my schedule when the clocks...

As far as the radio goes, mine is the same. I prefer it that way so that when I pop into a shop the radio is still on for my wife. It also acts as a reminder when I am in and out of the boot that I haven't locked the car.

I agree about the paper manual, the online manual appears to be completely silent about how this works. My comments are just based on trial and error, and may be completely wrong distracted as I am by the bings and bongs of the car telling me to pay attention to the road instead of trying to...

Apologies adeace, I didn't respond to your query regarding my software issues. It was finger trouble at my end! When the techie looked at my car he realised straight away that I didn't have MG Pilot on the right setting. The manual explains four different levels of adaptive cruise control and...
