The light was yellow not red so I could keep driving it.. it took 1 week to get an appointment, but when they got the part it was the wrong one, there are two types of sensor apparently. so they ordered the right one and they got it fitted it, took 1 hour only and its...

Took it into mg service and they found it was one of the o2 sensors, they allowed me to keep driving it until they got...

When you get old its hard to exert that much twisting pressure on it. when I first got the car standing in the petrol station trying to get it off and the others filling up tried as...

    Thoughts on first 7 months ownership

I live in NZ and we get down around zero deg in the winter at times right now. I have the car temp set to 19deg all year round and also with HVAC set to auto with...

    Anyone help with these questions before I buy MG HS PHEV

    Well, I have a 2023 MG phev which I bought new and have had none of those problems above. Its a nice comfortable car to drive around town or on a trip and quiet inside. Petrol economy is great, I get over 2000kms out of a fill as I mostly drive around in Electric mode around town which it will...

    O2 sensor

    We went up to auckland yesterday 120 kms away in my 2023 phev. On the way back the engine fault light came on. As it was yellow I kept going to home and went to the dealer this morning to have it checked. They tested it and found the O₂ sensor was faulty.. Exactly the same as what happened one...

    2023 MG phev compared to 2023 suzuki swift.

    I hit the side of the garage with my 2023 MG phev the other day while driving in. Insurance gave me a rental 2023 Suzuki swift to use until its fixed. What a huge difference between the 2 cars. The MG drives great, low road noise, very quiet in EV mode, comfortable seats and a lot more room in...

    my next one will be a full electric I think, My MG phev has 7 years warranty on it so I will decide in 4.5 years, There will be a lot of different options by then :)

    Record high MPG - can anyone beat this!

    Ill ask mg about that as there could an additive I can put in the petrol to counter that. I normally let it go down to quarter of a tank before I fill it again :)

    Record high MPG - can anyone beat this!

    Here is a photo i just took now after 1,337.1 kms and its saying 0.2l /100 kms and i still have 3/4 tank of petrol left. Nearly all my driving is in EV mode around town or to a satellite town with range of the 61kms it will do in EV mode. These are normal figures. When I go away on a trip I...

    32 miles on battery or more

    Batteries degrade when using. Going from 32 miles to 31 miles range is normal. nothing wrong with it. My 2023 phev started off at 62 kms ev range, now its at 61kms ev range so its dropped 1km in 2.5 years, Pretty good statistic, and it gets charged to full everyday :)

    Why no downloadable manual for HS PHEV?

    We use google maps plugged into android auto in the usb port. The navigation on the car is missing a lot of streets we found. Google maps is up to date :)
