    Worst car I've ever had

    I fear that as people are "forced" into EVs, we are going to see a lot more of this sorta stuff. At the very least, people need to understand DC vs AC charging and how to find the different types before getting an EV. Typical unhelpful dealer caused this situation I fear.

    Are "self charging hybrids" more economical?

    A 2005 petrol is ULEZ complaint. Hardly a reason to dash out £££££ on a new hybrid. Your MPG claims.. Interesting to say the least. I suspect your using extra urban figures which is not what the average driver does. The main point of the hybrid system is in towns and stop and start situations...

    Are "self charging hybrids" more economical?

    This is just blatantly false. Why do you think cars like the prius are extemely popular amongst taxi drivers? They are cheap to run and don't require charging. They don't have "all of the extra weight" to carry, they generally have a 1-2 kWh battery and a small motor and inverter and have no...

    Dealer Wants to Remain Registered Keeper for a Few Months

    You're getting a brand new car that hasn't been ragged about as a tester for what sounds like a large discount because the dealer is cheating the system. Other than the above "issues" such as PCNs and Speeding tickets being sent to the dealer which then need to be given to you, and changing the...

    OHME home pro & octopus energy

    Whole idea of iOG is that it finds the actual cheep slots of the half hourly wholesale electricity prices, instead of just charging on a fixed schedule. If you require more charge, it will find more cheep slots to charge the battery in the time given. ALL of these slots are at the 7p price, it...

    OHME home pro & octopus energy

    What???? There is no such thing as "cheap hours" on IOG - EVERY scheduled charging hour is a cheap hour. The 12:30-5:30 period is a bonus for other household things e.g. Home battery, overnight dishwasher/washing machine - Read what Octopus says - "PLUS": Its only if you manually override the...

    Emissions fault

    Glad it helped :) EVAP systems have been around since 1995ish for emissions reasons On hybrids especially, the petrol system is normally permanently pressurized, except for refueling. This is so that the petrol lasts longer, as water vapour is not able to get in. Excess pressure is burnt off...

    Emissions fault

    You sure the petrol cap is done up to specification (1 or 3 clicks) - that is the most common cause of the light. edit: if you find it loose it will take a few drives for the light to go off again once tightening.

    Demo new car - air conditioner compressor not working (many fault codes)

    Sorry, what. I'm not doubting you, but so far, to my knowledge, no MG HS phev has electric heat and needed the engine to kick in in winter, are you saying you can get heat without the engine?

    Octopus does It Again!! (Tariff Reduction July 2024)

    7 hours? 49Kwh Every day? what's that, 150 Miles/Day - Fair play for picking an EV for such a long commute!

    Amazon music - can’t login.

    Mirrorlink, unlike AA and AC was rarely used by the majority. If AA or AC was taken they would be outrage

    LKA useful or a hindrance

    MG do have a physical button for LKA on the HS (Maybe MG5 gen1 too) on the end of the stalk. They have gone backwards in this world of everything controlled via a screen nonsense

    Heat Pumps

    Mitsubishi makes some radiators (i-life2 slim) that are able to be used as air conditioners - They have a condense line. i guess they are air-water-air. Valliant has a controller that takes humidity and temperature measurements to calculate the dew point, then runs the flow temp just above that...

    Heat Pumps

    I was really started to get a bit concerned that nobody has picked up on the main issue with heat pumps in this thread, until i finally saw this: Gadget Geek finally had the answer Most of the people installing these see it as a money machine and not as a heating system thats keeping someone...

    Hill/handbrake assist. Is there any point in the electric handbrake button?

    It's worth noting that the EPC is also the emergency brake - holding it up will apply the handbrake.. well at least it does on other MG models. The being said, dual hydraulic brake system failure is extremely rare. Edit, just checked the MG4 manual, it does say this on page 192

    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.

    getting air flow into the cabin without the fan operating?

    The fan would use max ~300w on its own - I suggest you are also using the heating and/or air conditioning To use just the fan, set the temperature to low, make sure air con is disabled and that should be just the fan. RAM air is automatically active is MG cars when the climate is turned off...
