I’ve been getting a low 12v battery message (drive car within next 3 days) on screen after turning off engine and opening the drivers door. Went for a good 45 minutes drive in EV mode and still got the message after turning off the engine. Went on a similar journey in auto mode and the message...

Changed to AMT and Mode 1 in my HS PHEV recently and had a chance to test it out last week. On a 120 mile round trip I kept the car in auto mode for the outward journey which was mainly on motorways using ACC set to 65mph. Prior to the change I used to get around 39/40 mpg for similar journeys...

When my HS PHEV is showing at 0 % with 0 EV miles left I can put enough charge in to top up to 31 miles in the 4-hour Go cheap rate. I understand that the car keep’s around 3kwh in reserve so you can only put in upto around 13.6kwh (max battery capacity is 16.6kwh) in any charging session. Just...

Definitely. Do most of our charging - HS PHEV and Leaf during the cheaper night rate along with our washing machine and dishwasher..

We did a 1500+ miles tour of Scotland back in July and had an mpg of just over 40mpg also without charging. Was still running the car in at that stage so wasn't too heavy on acceleration and didn't go above the dual carriageway and motorway speed limits.

Had no tools with me on holiday so that’s why I used MG Assistance. 10mm spanner will do the job.

Happened to me a couple of weeks ago when on holiday in Scotland - wouldn’t turn on for a couple of days. MG assistance sent out a local mechanic and screen came on again after he disconnected the 12v battery for a few minutes. Been fine since.

Hopefully not, but difference with mine is that it wouldn’t come on at all for several trips over 2 days where around a hundred miles were covered.

Got back earlier today from a 2-week road trip to Scotland with stops in Edinburgh, Inverness, Isle of Skye, Fort William and Loch Lomond. My HS PHEV is only a few months old with most of the mileage done in EV mode prior to the road trip so had a good opportunity to run the petrol engine in...

See page 154 of the manual.

Ordered my HS PHEV in white back in September. Had an email from the dealership in January giving an estimate delivery of Mid-March. Just called them and was advised March extremely unlikely. Their system now shows a delivery date in July! They stressed this is an automated date that the system...
