    HS PHEV Service Cost (3rd Year, but v. low mileage)

    MG HS PHEV service cost: 3rd year annual service, 9,000 miles only - no service plan - quotes received as follows: 1) Baylis MG, Gloucester, stated they do not use a low mileage policy for MG annual services but simply uses the "costs laid down by MG". This (3rd year) service, which would...

    Apple Car Play - won't connect after short stop (long press radio workaround)

    In my 2021 HS PHEV, I use the MG Apple car play integration with my iPhone, exclusively for maps/navigation and radio/Spotify, etc. (I actually use a Carlinkit 3.0 wireless module to make it wire-free - but the phenomenon described below is exactly the same when using a certified apple cable...

    Battery range dropped from 32 to 31 miles?

    Mine MG PHEV changed from 32 mile range to 31 mile when the BMS was updated at the dealer, (Baylis, Gloucs.) in Feb. '23 (The update was a safety BMS update, apparently). Prior to the update it was always 32 at full charge, post update it never exceeds 31 when fully charged via a Wallbox...

    Cost of dealer software updates (UK),'authorised' by MG, UK

    Three weeks ago I took my car in for its 2nd service (5,000 mile at a cost of £300, Baylis, Gloucester). I asked them to check for any software updates and to explicitly investigate two issues: 1) plug-in charge plug/socket has to be held up when locking car remotely (else it fails to charge)...

    Failed charging with Pulsar Plus wall box

    These symptoms also infuriated me until I tried what was such a simple tip: after inserting, hold the charge plug up by just a few millimetres whilst simultaneously pressing lock on the car's key remote. You will not hear the double whirring sound and you can sleep so soundly in the reassurance...

    Mg hs windows/mirrors

    Just a thought: does the 'lazy' window open feature work? When the car is locked, press and HOLD the unlock button on the remote key for about 10 seconds to open all windows (and sunroof if fitted). Then reverse the process when locking the car with the lock button on the key.

    Phone volume over bluetooth

    Hmm, I have that exact same issue also. But most notably low, it consistently has low volume to/from calls made via Bluetooth and also Apple Carplay (which uses the same BT connection protocol I believe). So, using hands free mobile in car is mostly not possible; for a new car that's unreasonable.

    Phone volume over bluetooth

    Can anyone help with a solution please? Maybe I should post as a new thread.

    Miles to go after fill up...

    Ha, a braver man than I. My heart is in my hands each time I do approach the petrol pump to know whether or not the filler cap will release [it's pressurised tank] without causing the queue to get impatient.

    Miles to go after fill up...

    On this thread, it's interesting to note that the 'miles to go' is not very helpful when there are about 50-70 miles remaining as the gauge will suddenly plummet with a warning to fill up asap. During such time there is absolutely no indication of the actual distance remaining, only the warning...

    Space for Carlinkit?

    Here's my CarlinKit mini from Amazon. I'd say it was fairly neat. Just one observation: WiFi does not always connect if the chrome door flap is in the down (closed) position.

    Failed charging with Pulsar Plus wall box

    Whilst I am an qualified electronics engineer, the issue here is actually more fundamental. When the charging cable is inserted, the car then locked and subsequent multiple buzz/whirring noises heard, the charging plug has not been mechanically locked into placed and can be pulled back out...

    Failed charging with Pulsar Plus wall box

    The suggestion from @Jto provides a good workaround: holding the charger plug upwards when locking the car must ensure the lock pin engages first time. Now I never miss a charge sessìon due to failed comms or some other MG anomally! Thank you.

    Phone volume over bluetooth

    Was there any outcome or revelation for this thread? I have low volume with incoming and outgoing phone calls using Bluetooth; it affects both the ringtone and the speech. The level of volume is not increased/decreased by either the in-car volume control or the iPhone volume control: it is such...

    Failed charging with Pulsar Plus wall box

    Thx for your response (and all the suggestions). This has caused me to research the pinout connections to the charge socket. As you rightly say (and from Wikipedia) the top two pins are for control signalling: Proximity pilot (PP): pre-insertion signalling Control pilot (CP): post-insertion...

    Failed charging with Pulsar Plus wall box

    I charge my HS Hybrid exclusively from a Pulsar Plus wall box (also used for scheduled charging of my wife's Renault Zoe EV with no issues). Charging is always scheduled at the app to commence at 12.30am to benefit from the Octopus Go off peak tariff. However, sometimes overnight charging...

    MG HS PLUG IN REAR BUMPER PROTECTOR

    I fitted this reputable product by 3M (from eBay). It's translucent - so isn't obvious or even visible - but it is of a great quality and protects the rear bumper when shifting heavy loads in and out of the boot. On the MG HS (PHEV) the horizontal section of the bumper (leading into the boot)...

    Wireless Carplay Option

    The Carlinkit 3 mini (for Apple Carplay) is smaller than previous models, it fits under the USB port hatch without modification - so it can be hidden away - and works seamlessly. It's a little pricey at £99. but if you check the CarlinKit store they occasionally promote it at £68 (that's the...

    EV Mode

    Just a quick heads up: to switch off the HVAC (to maintain EV mode) without needing to reduce the heat/temperature setting, simply long press the climate shortcut switch to switch off/on. Simples!

    Slow gearbox shifting

    Unless I'm mistaken, the original query at the start of this thread regarded the 0-60 in 6.9s performance which, in my experience is spot on (in my 2021 HS PHEV), BUT it requires the combination of ICE and a charged battery to boost the performance (by an additional 90hp). In this hybrid mode...
