Can anyone confirm or deny if the brake lights come on when you take your foot off the gas and it goes into regen?

Just had my 1st service with a mileage of 2600 miles Required brake pads removed and regressed the backs £28 front £28 back Air conditioning serviced £74 When I asked for Bluetooth upgrade to R59 Told no upgrades available but if I wanted this sorted they would have to put it on diagnostic to...

Hi everyone, I recently took my car to an independent garage to have my rear brake pads replaced. Unfortunately, when the technician started the job, he realized that the brake pads they had in stock were not the correct ones. He put everything back together, but when he switched the car on...

While driving in Regen 3 mode today l was pipped a couple of times from drivers following me , l presume it’s because my brake lights are not coming on under braking. Does anyone know for certain if they do come on or not please ?

Hi having driven my MG3 Trophy for over 1000 miles now and loving it , l sometimes find cars behind close up when l am slowing due to reg braking. Does anyone know if the brake lights operate when the car is slowing ?

I have HG HS Exclusive. Driving normal, stopped at the turning and when I tried to drive electronic parking brake (EPB) did not release. I had to turn off the button ((A)). I tried again few time as soon as I apply the break, green light turn on (as normal) in the dashboard and when trying to...

How does the rear collision work if someone gets too close and does the middle brake light strobe ? ?

Parking brake and several other systems failed on startup. Sat in car, wouldn't select gear, message came up saying to turn off parking brake, did so. Car was parked on a hill. Starts rolling backwards. Parking brake renegaged after holding foot down hard on brake for 30 seconds. Gears still...

Anyone advise if ev brake fluid any different to ice fluid?

Hi all, Something I’ve been meaning to ask, when you are using the regenerative braking (tacking your foot of pedal ) do the brake lights come on, otherwise it could be a problem if you have Mr BMW close behind. Cheers Tony

Based on my experiments it seems that braking does not use regen in itself...is that other peoples view? Different kers setting impacts the regen but for example if on kers 1 and then use the brake it seems to be capped at a lower level, kers 2 a slightly higher level etc.. My previous leaf...

The EPB on my ZS EV sometimes fails to engage. I bring the car to a stop, by using regenerative braking and the foot brake. I then operate the EPB switch and you can hear the brake motor whirr but the brakes don’t stay on. Its just had its first service and there was no fault code registered...

Yesterday, when I got in the car I got a control system failure error which told me to drive to an MG garage. The only problem was that the car refused to move. I could select R or D but the car wouldn't move despite the power reading 30%. I tried the instructions in the manual to release the...

We had a spill inside the car and got water in the Parking brake switch. The car is drivable but slams on the brake when almost stationary as it can't register the switch condition. Anyone advise as to how to remove the switch to dry it or replace it if necessary?

Perhaps more of a technical question, do our cars have open differential? Or is there a brake driven system that mimics LSD much like in BMW's e-diff. Reason I'm asking is; I was climbing out of my steep and twisty garage, left rear wheel lost contact from the limited suspension travel and...

High re-gen slows the car quite dramatically, more so that I'm used to with ICE cars and therefore more than drivers behind me might expect. So, I wonder, does it apply the brake light to warn the driver behind it's dropped the anchor? Si

C'mon - who's going to be first then ?? ?? ( if I could afford it I so would ?)

Anyone pepped their brake lights up yet. And more importantly I suppose, is it legal ? ( AliExpress special). Certainly make your point when braking. Probably extremely irritating if fired during regen braking and sitting at lights with foot on brake.

So what do you think of this shameless profiteering from the only MG parts suppplier I could initially find online. MG4 Front Brake Pads. Volkswagen Golf GTD Front Brake Pads. Let's hope we can purchase from Ali Express or such like when required eh?
