    MG HS exclusive no power juddering

    This forum is for the PHEV version of the hs, there will not be many petrol owners here. I suggest posting on the MG HS facebook page which has a much larger community of petrol HS owners and may be able to advise you.

    HS PHEV - the good, the bad and the ugly

    Spot on, gets way bouncy sometimes, but without expensive and prone to failure electronic variable dampers i don't know how the refined motorway driving could be maintained while solving this. People are saying 40 mpg like its bad?? Id love to hear of any medium-large petrol/hybrid SUV that...

    Cant open petrol cap

    The MG HS has a DC-DC converter and can charge the 12v with the HV battery. This is easy to test, While moving your seat forwards/backwards, power up the vehicle. You will notice the seat moves faster as the DC-DC converter turns on. Your 12V battery low is more likely to do with the vehicle...

    Cant open petrol cap

    No, it's so air does not mix with the ethanol in the fuel causing water to get in the fuel. This is done as many can use the phev without touching the ICE for months at a time.

    Hs PHEV insurance premiums

    MG HS PHEV is a great car; more luxurious than the ZS and more comfortable. Proving you can charge it every night on cheep leccy, it will do you well in summer, but will cost more in winter due to the silly engine/heat arrangements.

    It's Happened Again

    Just an FYI - someone on this forum has the DAB files that can fix that issue if it a software corruption as it is sometimes - if its a faulty hardware module, good luck.

    Led upgrade for projector lights and indicators on Exite

    Can you upgrade the headlights to LED? Yes (though it is illegal and may fail an mot, if you aim the bulbs correctly this is unlikely to be an issue). It is a HB3 bulb, a LED replacement would be one like this novsight example (https://amzn.eu/d/9ysqq1U) Upgrading the indicators would...

    Automatic gearbox question

    The gearbox is really weird as you say - It seems more speed based then load based - Im guessing it has something to do with how the 2 separate gearboxes need to negotiate with each other.

    Home Charging - Extension Cable

    HI there. Been using toughleads.co.uk EV extension lead(s) for the longest of times, even got a custom one in orange. Great people to deal with, and a extension lead that fits the bill. Current rating of cable is depending on conductor size (Duh) and the insulation rating. The higher...

    Just a newbee introducing himself.

    There is some great advise on this forum for the phev, but to summarize: -All heat comes from the engine. If you ever had a cold spell, the engine needs to run to heat the cabin -In EV mode, there is a small delay around 50MPH (80Km/h) when the EV gearbox goes from 3rd to 4th. This is normal...

My guesses as to what is wrong: You are trying to use EV mode in the Winter, which is just a bad idea You...

    USB plug behind mirror...

    Nope, No USB by the mirror. Only on some 2022 ZS EV's. Best way to get a dashcam in a HS is a hardwire kit from the passenger compartment fuse box

    Navigation by Post Code UK

    Could things to try could be try putting the postcode in with/without the space. OTher than that you could try the naviextras update but based on you saying its not a new build, i'm pessimistic if that would actually add it. Another thing you could try to expand on the comment made is try...

    Warning PM 2.5 filter came up today

    That text is there on all HS's with a 2.5PM filter. It's just telling you that option is installed, not that it needs servicing (though it should really be changed every year as the activated carbon loses its ability to neutralize VOC's)
