Mine is a pre-facelift. Didn't happen at all on my latest journey, in fact really hasn't been a bother for the last few motorway journeys. The idea that it might be connected with lane assist is interesting. I don't use lane assist all - I tried it once with another car and hated it - so it has...

I'm inclined to agree. I've been doing identical motorway journeys for the last few weeks and it's certainly intermittent - sometimes I have completely trouble free journeys. One thing I know for certain is that it goes away after even a very short break at the services.

After a few normal motorway runs in the last week or so the old notchyness returned. It started just as joined the M3 off the M25 and got into the interminable 50mph zone. I had only experienced it at 65 -70mph previously so this was unexpected. As I was in the go-slow zone I could fiddle a bit...

Well, having experienced the sticky steering on our motorway cruise on Friday it didn't occur at all on our way home today! Conditions on the road today were pretty much identical to Friday - about 13 degrees, dry and no wind. I'm not convinced it's tyres. In my car, when it occurs, it feels...

This is interesting. After having my PFL 5 for coming up to 3 years, this has started happening to me. I have been doing a long few motorway runs lately and became aware of the odd sensation of sticking or notchyness after a while when cruising steadily. I would have thought that if it were a...

This has been happening to my pfl5 for as long as I can remember. I only use a granny charger and I probably only put on about 12% during my cheap overnight charging session yet I always get somewhere between 8 and 10 miles before it starts to drop. Except on occasions I charge to 100% - then it...

For me the bugbear is the vent controls. Why two buttons to do one job? I can never remember which button to press for the shortest route to the setting I want to get to. This is not helped by the info screen putting up a massive fan speed indicator and pointless picture of the seat but only a...

Borrowed a friends Audi ICE automatic the other day, frightened myself witless at the first junction when the car didn't slow at all!

Been doing it this way for years, admittedly with an electronic 16A timer. Not much choice if you want to make use of cheap rate electricity over night and only need to use a granny charger.

If the car is locked and the key out of range, by pressing the unlock button on the door the SOC will appear on the screen. Doesn't interupt the charge that way - or unlock the car.

One year down the line and the mystery disappearing charge cropped up again, although I think I have worked out why. The other day I completed a single 180 mile journey in miserable weather against a stong headwind and finished the journey with only a scary 7% charge left. It was late so I...

The MG instructions are confusing and not worded that well but I understand 'outboard' to mean either side of the rear seats (ie. not the centre position) otherwise why fit two isofix positions?

Mine improved considerably once I removed the tapes covering the drainage holes in the bottom doors that got left there after the PDI. I also use dehumidifier packs on the dash in the winter months.

I'm fortunate that I very rarely need to use rapid chargers, the problem with this is that I haven't developed the 'skills' to handle these beasts. I have tried to use BP Pulse on four occasions on three different chargers using a credit card. These three machines were all different in their...

Worth emphasising that there are two very different issues here. One is AUTO ON/OFF the other is AUTO DIP/MAIN. Personally I've not really had a problem with the AUTO ON/OFF although you have to keep an eye on dusk/low light/bad weather situations. However the AUTO DIP/MAIN was downright dangerous!
