Looks like the speed awareness course guy was wrong. I wonder where he got his information from 🤔.

The distance part of the rule has gone. It's now whenever street lights are present. Edit. Incorrect information. See post by @johnb80 below. The other thing I picked up when I was given the same 'opportunity' as @tsedge, is that on the road centre lines, if the paint is longer than the gap a...

This video is worth a watch if you're considering other methods. Post in thread 'Puncture.' Puncture. Although I don't expect to use them if I get a puncture, I carry a tyre string kit and a few tyre screws now just in case.

It's not quite as comprehensive as getting out and locking, but switching off via the infotainment and back on with brake will work with some problems too.

It looks like the satnav is using it's database to tell the difference between a single carriageway and dual carriageway. Presumably the drivers display software doesn't have access to that information, and so is no better than the SE models. With a camera only, if you're on an empty dual...

At least they're using the international "unambiguous" format on some of their stuff now. If it starts with 4 digits and a dash you know it means yyyy-mm-dd (assuming it wasn't written by a rubbish software engineer 🙄).

If you left the lights switch on the left stalk not in auto, this will happen. The switch is moderately sensitive so it can happen by accident.

This seems to be quite common when the car is new for all windows. After a few months, either people stop brushing the buttons by mistake or they bed in and become less sensitive. Either way it's not good if it rains heavily overnight. Is it possible that when they didn't work you were using...

Post in thread 'Can’t access the car' Can’t access the car

I didnt have as many warnings as others have reported, but switching off on the infotainment and then turning back on again cleared the warnings for me.

Ah ok, so what I think you're saying is presumably the parking brake is rear only and therefore even if the wheels lock you don't really care as you can still steer with no problem.

I'd certainly use it in an emergency, but from higher speeds isn't it likely to cause the wheels to lock as there's no way of moderating the braking force? Perhaps the parking brake is so weedy compared to the foot brake, this never happens and the stopping distance is actually quite long 🤷.

It attaches to the 'Front Bumper buffer Beam' whatever that is. See the refit and remove manual from @siteguru's website for a diagram. Search for 'Pedestrian Alert Control Module' or PACM.

Auto hold applies the brakes using the same mechanism as when you put your foot on the brake. If you want the equivalent of the handbrake, pull the parking brake switch up or press the P on the drive mode rotary button. I'm guessing the brake lights go off in both cases but haven't checked. If...

That's identical symptoms to those reported in this thread: https://www.mgevs.com/threads/new-phone-problems.20735/ I also got a new phone and had the same problems a few days later. I did get it to work after trying a lot of different things and can confirm that you should get a screen pop up...
