    1st service cost on an MG HS PHEV

    Fortunately, when I bought the car, there was a special campaign from the seller that week. From 3 options I chose a 3 year free service deal. It has had its second now. After its 3rd I plan to get a new car.

    EV mode keeps dropping out on MG HS PHEV

    Hi I agree, very irritating and annoyingly expensive as well. I always make sure that the heater is down at 16C. That seems to work, except when starting on these colder days. I am usually able to switch it over to electric after about 1km. It is a real pain in the butt that you must keep the...

    Sat Nav not picking up speed cameras

    I sometime use Apple maps on my iPhone and it seems to know where all the cameras are, though one or two times it has warned me as I have driven past. Good job I wasn't speeding.

    Intermittent amber triangle above petrol gauge MG HS PHEV.

    Thanks, I was also wondering what the triangle was. It is a fun car to drive, however the system that recognises speed limit signs is totally useless, especially on illuminated speed limit signs.

    Cant open petrol cap

    I must admit it was very frustrating the first time I visited the gas station. My partner and I struggled for quite a while before we figured it out. At least it makes it more difficult for thieves to steal any petrol even if they have access to an open door. LOL! But from a usability...

    Frozen door to electric charge socket

    Thanks all for the advice, really appreciate it. Luckily the door was just frozen and not broken which is a big relief. First real snow snow arrived this morning. I have an old garage which is not big enough for the MG. I'll just have to deal with the winter challenges as they arrive.

    Frozen door to electric charge socket

    Hi I tried to defrost the flap door using a hairdryer but no luck. I am starting to think the door is just stuck. Anybody know if there is a manual way of releasing it just to test it. It has been below freezing here for most of the last couple of weeks. Very frustrating! Thanks!

    Frozen door to electric charge socket

    The door to charge my car has frozen. It started last week and I was unable to close it after an overnight charge. Now the door has frozen closed. The temperature here has only been just below freezing, but here in the south of Norway it can drop below -30C even more, though usually between 0...

    HS PHEV Charging issues

    Thanks for the explanation jem111111. My next car will definitely be 100% electric as there is absolutely no or little future in petrol/diesel driven vehicles. I knew I was moving and have just bought and moved into a new house, so I did not want to waste any money installing a charger in my...

    HS PHEV Charging issues

    Is this correct that the car only returns a 3-5 kw charge and not 7 kw? If this is the case then this car is very disappointing. I just installed a 11kw charger today.

    Mg hs phev: EV mode default

    I have discovered that when EV mode says 'NO!' it means 'NO!' There have been times when I left it in EV mode that when started again it remained in EV mode, only to shut off EV mode after about 100 meters, but then under exactly the same conditions it remains in EV mode. As for the...

    Ordered today, PHEV Exclusive.

    My Whovian partner wanted a tardis blue, thank goodness they don't do one :) I have to admit I really like the red and I have had lots of complements about the colour. Obviously I am not objective, but when I see it parked in a car park full of cars I really do like the aesthetics of MG design...

    My PHEV running cost savings

    You don't know. Here in Norway most electricity is produced by hydro power. However, Norway is now part of the European grid, so when we are short of electricity because Norway has already sold its clean green supply, we are probably getting the brown pumping out pollution kind. Until Europe...

    EV Mode switches off when running down a hill

    I have to admit I cannot find any logical reason when the heater is off why when trying to turn on EV it says 'Not supported' I have tried to replicate the same trips with mixed results. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not turn on. When you press that EV button it should just override the...

    Design fault wiper scratches bonnet

    If you lift the wiper up to try and clean the windscreen you risk scratching off the paint on the edge of the bonnet where the wiper touches. The dealer quoted that it would cost me 3.500 Norwegian Kroner, about 300 pounds sterling to fix. The dealer also told me that this is a fault they have...

    Yes that happens when I am driving as well.

    Thinking of buying HS PHEV but need owner advice

    Hi 1. One of the main reasons I bought this car was the 7 year guarantee that comes with it, should anything go wrong reliability wise. MG seem to be really serious about selling their cars in Europe and seem to want to make a good impression. 2. The blind spot warning lights are not very...

    Question Speed sign recognition

    I can say there are definitely no side road signs visible on the motorway as I drive past signs clearly marked 100kmh. I know it is not just the MG that suffers from this issue. I was reading the other day about a Tesla driver who was fined 10 000 Norwegian kroner about 900 pounds sterling...
