I have an HS PHEV that is one year old. Just had it serviced at my MG dealer in UK. I asked them to update navigation with latest maps. They say to log in and register my car on the MG web site. I can find nowhere to log in. So looked at Naviextras. eHS is listed so set it as my device. There is...

Here's a photo to remind me where the bars have to go. Quite far back. The front one is just behind where the roof would tilt. The back one 64cm behind that. Fitted with a "HandiHoldall" 330 litre bag - bit floppy because it is empty. The rails on the roof of my HS are closer together at the...

I'm sticking with the supplied Grannie Charger - increasing to 3.5kw is not, in my opinion, worth spending over £400. Then a smart timer controlled by google home for £10 allows me to take advantage of off-peak overnight charging like Octopus Go.

Fitted a roof bar to check I've bought the right size - I have, but it is only just long enough! This is it - £42 per pair in UK here on Amazon

Here's my mini-shed with a plug-holder and cable tidy. BOXULOC cable tidy and lockable plug holder.

Mine's the same - hesitates at 49mph when accelerating in EV mode. I always deselect EV and let the ICE help when overtaking. :)

Seems to be when the outside air is cold (and the car and engine are cold) the heater calls for heat for the interior and this contravenes an EV condition. So EV mode is not available. Pretty consistent on my car. :)

Is my HS PHEV all up-to-date? If not, will a dealer update everything for free?
