If you have regen 3 engaged the brake lights come on anyway when its active I seem to recall that using the manual parking brake puts the car in neutral and you have to push footbrake and engage drive to move off safety feature

I have a fl Mg5 that doesn't recognise 20 mph speed limit signs. Had it in for service last week and had an MG3 courtesy car for the day. It read every speed limit sign including 20mph accurately so it can be done

You do realise that the speed limit indicator is fed from the passive radar on the car not from the sat nav feed

Ours has never recognised 20 mph limit. Also shows the national speed limit (UK) sign on dual carriageways but either has a fissyfit showing the minor road speed limit on motorways or flashes 70 instead. Whilst its technically correct, national speed limit sign is correct for dual carriageways...

Sorry I was suggesting using your heated seat rather than the heater when you have no passengers quite agree about the heated steering wheel though

Also honks horn if you've left spare key in or near the car. Try taking spare key a distance away and try again

You don't have heated seats then

We use kers 2 and eco for normal driving and the brakes to slow down and stop, I very read of MG cars suffering seized pads and requiring new rotors through using kers3 all the time instead of the brakes. Figures quoted to replace are frightening so I'll stick to using the brakes thanks...

A tin box would do as well. You do know that the only fob that actually talks to the car is the type that automatically unlocks it when you are close. Most fobs you need to physically flip a button either on car door or the fob itself to unlock. These fobs are not affected by someone hijacking...

You can override Kers completely for motorway use. At about 30mph or thereabouts set cruise control then accelerate past that speed and the kers switches off, let cruise control adjust the speed and it uses little energy going back to motorway speeds

Except the cretin jumping the red light ??

I too have the luck of dealing with a fantastic main dealer, I charge from home as well but as we pay foe electricity by direct debit ( octopus) there effectively is no additional fuel cost as there was with ICE cars. My electricity is valuated yearly and as charging the car does not cause a...

12V system certainly, average speed does not relate to battery usage as I said previously .

As its an ev stops are not relevant as the car uses no power, motor goes to 0 output as soon as the car is stopped regardless of whether the system is switched on . Look at your power usage graphics and you will see no output from the motor. Ice cars of course need engines on idling speed to...

It's really quite hard to move them. I found it easier to get to them by dropping the back seats a little, you can get a stronger grip on the sliders
