Hello again
Anybody else got a sore left knee from the drive selector?

I thought the binnacle was the bit behind the steering wheel? Sounds like you’re a yoga pro to pull that one offNope - but it does very much depend on how tall you are / length of legs, and your driving position. In my case I can rest my knee/leg against the binnacle comfortably.![]()
I'm 6 3 and often find knee resting against it. A softer/rubber surround might be more comfy but don't get any pain. Personally prefer drive selector in middle than on a stalk but suppose if it was higher or not as deep it might suit the taller driver more.Hello again

I do, thank god I'm not the only one. The driving position for me is what I see as my weakest quality of the car. The reach & rake on the steering wheel doesn't come out far enough so my seat is further forward than it should be for me to get a good steering wheel distance.Hello again

I'm 6'2" with 34" inside leg. I do prefer a more recumbent than upright backrest so I feel my whole back is evenly cradled & supported but it's by no means laid back like a sun lounger. With the lack of adjustable lumbar support I feel scrunched up and find if it's too uptight it feels like the support is concentrated higher up rather than feeling like my whole back is being supported. I had a similar but not as noticeable driving position in my Mazda 3 but it has a good adjustable lumbar support and I also fitted a 40mm steering wheel spacer. It doesn't sound like much but that 40mm transformed my driving position and comfort.Do you sit with the seat back laid back? If yes then that would limit your options regarding wheel reach and rake.
I prefer to sit much more upright and so have no problems with reach and rake.
(For comparison ... I'm 5'10" with a 31" inside leg ... and stop that tittering at the back!) ?

I tried various searches of terms on AliExpress using mg4 and mg Mulan but couldn't find anything, I'll have another scout tonight in workYes, I found my knee naturally falling onto the sharp edge of the centre bit.
I’m positive I saw someone selling pads, maybe the usual Aliexpress type place.
What you need are knee pads.
