When I took the wife’s HS PHEV in for its first service in March, I asked them to check the drivetrain as a vibration started at 65mph and stayed until speed dropped. They said they checked and found nothing. Well, we don’t do lots of distance work (reason for PHEV), so the problem seldom...

IT DIDN’T!!

We had first service on our PHEV and asked any software updates. Told no. Strange as the infotainment was going even slower than normal when we got it back. Then 2 days later it went dark and re-booted of it’s own accord as we approached a roundabout, not good as we didn’t know the area and was...

We had software update on our 2022 PHEV IN August 2022 and since then the figure has shown 31 miles after an overnight (7.2kw charger) charge. Up until then it had shown 32. But saying that, we have had 38 miles of local use, we also can gain 2-4 miles if we park up for 30minutes

My dealer (FG Barnes, Canterbury) informs me 45 minute fix. Earth strap behind glove box (requires removal of glove box, then refix earth strap). IF this solves my problem of the infotainment system randomly “re-booting” mid journey (always at some inconvenient time), will be well pleased!

Having small problem with my TPMS, want the hive collective’s thought before I go to the dealer (1st service 7March at FG Barnes Canterbury) I find the tyres at front do not grip too well when pulling away from a junction (yes, I do moderate my throttle), original Chinese Michelins (at the...

The infotainment screen on our HS PHEV exclusive (reg March22) HAD a habit of going blank on long journies, sometimes re-booting, sometimes not until I powered the car down and did a full restart. It was in the dealership for another problem (charger not locking) a couple of months back and they...

If you were to buy the Vectra Elite today, the price would be around £35-£40,000+. The same analogy would apply to the Leaf (which Nissan sold initially at a loss). The MG’s price is substantially below what either of those would be today. Time has moved in, but car prices have risen by a...

Difference I found is the retaining “knobs” are 90degree different. The mats I ordered allowed me to turn the oval hole 90deg! Hey presto! That only applies to HS AUTO mats. These were 3050g mats off Fleabay about £90. But if you consider paying £75 for MG’s cardboard efforts that last a year? I...

Where did you find it at that price? Went on Ohme’s site and doesn’t have that?

Actually Axa do cover MG’s after 2009, but they have listing for MG and also MG Motors UK Ltd. BUT the latter only covers ZS / 3 and 5!! Not the HS or the PHEV. Spent 30mins with an underwriter, explained vehicle, sent “certificate of conformity” but it was not on their list. A less than 3 month...

Took delivery of our pearl white MG HS Exclusive PHEV on Thursday 10 March. Long story, 3rd one we had ordered. This one was due for “dealer stock” and was ordered by Caffyns on 19July 2021. We knew it was on a ship arriving in Portbury at the end of Feb when we agreed this purchase. Now the...

what is the difference?

North Kent coast between Herne Bay & Margate (near Canterbury). “South East” - lol. Currently one of the many awaiting delivery of HS PHEV
