I got the figure of 80p an hour from my smart meter. As in how much is the smart meter saying I am using in pounds or pence with the car charging, and how much when I switch the charging off. The difference was where I got the 80p+ from. I tried it several times to be sure it was coming from...

Thank you for that. All the input I am getting from you all is making me more secure in using petrol only ..... at least until we get more sunshine up here in Scotland, and I can charge directly from my solar panels. Had a bill of £730 for electricity for December, and after eliminating...

Thanks for that. I appreciate the input, and yours puts my mind at ease even more about running on petrol. Isn't it ironic ? We buy these cars to be more environmentally responsible, then events take over that make it economically unviable to use them on electric. I thought about...

Thankyou My Man ! Appreciate that. I'll not be pushing the EV button too often now, not that it works very much at this time of year in Scotland, as the heating is on all the time !

Given the current price of electricity, the dropping price of petrol and the kind of driving I do, I reckon I would be better off driving on petrol than on electric. Searched the manual more than once and can't find any reference to doing that, or what happens when the electricity runs out...

Now bought an extra cable from my phone, and plugged it in to the car. Then went onto the Android thingy on the car's computer, and the phone's satnav then shows on the screen and talks. I'm using Google Maps and it works fine. Thanks for all the help from you guys. Still surprised the...

I have spent the last few hours trying to connect a memory stick to the car, while watching YouTube videos on the process. Not quite the same as the videos for other models, as the screen display is different on my year old HS Hybrid. I get as far as the car telling me it is trying to link to...

Thanks for that. Actually showing how it is done makes it look simpler than the techie explanations. I'll give it a go, but I may have one challenge. I saw that the supported platforms for the updates are all Windows. My computer is an Applemac ! They may support that now though. Will...

PS: I have Google Maps in my phone, which works perfectly, but willing to have a go at updating the car via Naviextras if the price is reasonable. Still teed off with the "It's none of our business" attitude at MG UK, and I'm still waiting for the techies at Parks to call me !!! I have...

Can you give me a link to one of the You Tube videos ?

PS: I now have satnav in my phone. It cost me nothing, and is always up to date. I'll be using that in future instead of MG's decrepit system.

Interesting ! I have looked in the sat nav manual that came with the car, and there is nothing in there about how to update it. So I got on to MG UK, and asked them. They told me to go and ask my dealer. Not a good response from a car manufacturer, and I told them so. So a run around the...

That's my mate Max The Mog.

I can see you are too much of a diplomat to say, "For heaven's sake ... Go and read the manual" 😉 Never even noticed there IS a manual for the navigation system, but I have it on my desk now. Thank you. 👍

There are times when the satnav in my HS Plug In Hybrid works perfectly, and other times when it just refuses to work when I put an address, or post code in. I THINK I have sussed why. It doean't seem to like addressed where the streets are of fairly new housing. So my question is ..... How...

Yes. Westender 69 pointed that out earlier today.

Max is not a Bengal, Aceselect, he's a Si-Rex, and I love him to bits. He has cattitude in spades ! My wife is allergic to cats and these fellas are hypoallergenic due to the Rex in their genes, so she could live with them. 😸 And Westender69 is right ! Had a look in the manual and there it...

PS: There is nothing I can find in the manual about "running in". No cars nowadays need running in either for the engine or the electric motor.

My one is now nine months old. From day one it has been the same. Yes, when I move off I can hear a slight whine until I get to 20 mph when the engine kicks in, or if I am in EV the whine seems to decrease until I can't hear it. If I have the windows open I can just about hear it, but it is...

My personal choice is heavy duty chequered rubber mats. So easy to clean, even if you have been in a muddy field ! 😸
