But you can change the screen brightness for both lights on and lights off. I've just changed it to a dark theme and so far it seems the best compromise

I thought that the PHEV had an 8 gallon tank (37ltrs). If you're in EV mode then it runs the battery out before switching the engine on, unless you accelerate harder, in which case the engine will kick in. In HEV mode the battery works alongside the engine until it reaches 45-50 miles range...

Thanks for the confirmation.

What's the charge level on your battery?

Why not try RTFM ing? Tailgate Emergency Open Tailgate emergency open switch is located in the inner side of tailgate lock. Lower the rear seat to make sure the emergency open lockhole plug on the tailgate trim panel can be touched. Take up the plug with hand, and rotate the emergency open knob...

Don't know about fuse boxes, but the battery in our month old PHEV is in the boot.

I'm not denigrating the HS - we're very pleased with our PHEV. The speed recognition problems seem common in MGs - our MG5 used to be the same and our current MGS5 is a bit better, but not reliable. It may be better in towns, but we live rurally. I doubt that they're any better in other makes...

It seems that glass wearers can have the most problems - certainly it makes a huge difference in mine. It doesn't like my polarised sunglasses at all, but copes a bit better with my plain ones. Seems a total waste of time to me, so it's turned off every drive, along with the speed warning bongs...

Do you wear glasses for driving?

That's interesting - my new HS PHEV doesn't have this facility. Maybe there'll be a software update.

An update re car mats from MGTitan. They requested a photo of the front of my car, so I sent front, back and close up of the badge on the back. Within a few hours they came back, saying that they'd refunded my money. So I wouldn't deal with them again, but give them credit for their prompt refund.

My order arrived today - 31 days after ordering and 28 days in transit. And they've sent the wrong car mats. Currently awaiting their response...

My order says that it arrived in the UK on the 10th Sep as well, still not arrived. The tracker says :- "United kingdom, Item is in transit United kingdom" - so far 25 days in transit, ordered 28 days ago

Two week old HS PHEV. We tested it out in EV mode and drove it until the battery ran out. At the 10% point there was no engine activity at all. The engine didn't cut in until 81.2 miles, when the battery was zero percent. At no time did it rise near 4000 revs, so I would regard your car as...

Just bought an HS PHEV from them. Simon Hawkins was extremely helpful and spent time making sure that we were happy with out choice. We continue to be very pleased with the company.
