    Speed signage indicator on dashboard

    On the back of the 20mph change in Wales where border against, has anyone ever had an update on the speed indicator on the dash? It's been flashing incorrectly for 2 years for national speed limit on motorways and trunk roads as it seems to think they are 60mph! Haven't yet driven across the...

    Rear Number plate

    Hi - just as a cross post, same arrangement on our MG HS PHEV and it’s caused the tailgate to rust badly At less than 2 years. The whole number plate mounting arrangement is very amateur.

    Tailgate tinworm - stupid number plate holder design

    You might be right. I thought the black plastic holder was for a Chinese square plate but the top 2 holes of the tailgate aren’t used at all. The U.K. plastic plate has been stuck to the black holder (bottom pic shows it stuck on) AND then screwed on too, which it absolutely didn’t need...

    Infotainment system update, when and how?

    I’d just like it to have an off button. I mean proper off, not muted. Wife has music on, I never do, drives me nuts every time I get in the car.

    Tailgate tinworm - stupid number plate holder design

    Cleaning my 22 month old HSPHEV today and I noticed a tiny rust spot just underneath the number plate holder. Taking it off revealed paint carnage! It seems that when the black plastic holder was fitted they left the tape on AND the tape cover (the red stuff) causing it to look a complete state...

    Gear shifting in EV mode, Warning

    Mine does this - it's a PIA and is dangerous if you don't know it's going to happen. If I'm out of town I never use only EV because of this issue. It's been serviced and updated a few times, but never fixed this. Happens around 45 MPH and it's almost like the power has been completely cut for...

    Vehicle tax rates for the PHEV

    Thanks for your replies all, it seems a right mess of a system now, and I do wonder if I should have just bought a (much cheaper) diesel SUV if the government cares so little about us forking out for a PHEV to lower emissions. I do like the MG, but I could have bought a decent low mileage Volvo...

    Vehicle tax rates for the PHEV

    So I've just got my first tax reminder through the post as our PHEV approaches a year old... I know the tax rates changed in 2017 (well I do know), but hadn't connected this to our new car as we went from a £0 Nissan LEAF to the MG. I'm somewhat astounded that the tax is listed as £145 for the...

    MG HS PLUG IN REAR BUMPER PROTECTOR

    I have one and it's just a rubbish fit. It hasn't come off at all, but it looks pants.

    Bluetooth reconnecting...(solution) and why can't you turn the damn stereo OFF?

    Just a solution for once :) and a stupid stereo question... I had disconnected my daughters bluetooth phone from the system as she kept playing the WORST music all the time, and noted that you can't then reconnect again... a little bit of trying (and a review of the hapless manual) and it seems...

    Gear shifting in EV mode, Warning

    Yup mine does that too, bit of a glaring issue tbh. I consciously only switch to EV in town and villages, the EV bit isn't great for dual carriageways. I've had the software updated but made no difference.

    Infotainment brightness on auto - burning my retinas out...

    Hi all, I have the brightness set to auto on the centre infotainment system, but it seems to be sticking on super bright day mode at night, so bright I keep the darker HVAC screen on. Any ideas? TIA David

    Webasto heater ? JUST INSTALLED :-)

    As we have a LEAF too, I would note that in winter I have seen the LEAF pull 20 miles of range to power the heater, which on a PHEV would make it pretty much useless... preheat is good though IF, and it's a big IF, you can get the app to work as it was very flaky.
