My 2nd car was a rust bucket 1300 (1st was a mini). I've still got 2 pairs of brake shoes in the garage if anyone wants them :oops:. I'm sure they'll come in useful one day but I'll have to dig them out from all the other potentially useful stuff in the garage. 🤣

This could be a signal integrity issue. Perhaps poor reverse-engineering/re-implementation of the clone device.

Yes, my wife frequently complains. Not that it's sharp, particularly, but especially because water collects on the ledge when it's wet, too.

I've renewed (early) at a 4.7% discount on last year's premium with some additional free excess cover. My previous insurer subsequently phoned and tried to get me to renew, and could he see if he could improve their price (reminding me that I had 14 days to cancel my new cover). I questioned why...

I see. Thanks. Where is the update log? Is this the 'programming history' mentioned elsewhere in this thread? Why might they be unwilling to share this information unless they had something to hide (e.g. that they have claimed to update an item but haven't). Wouldn't this be providing a...

Please could I just confirm - Does the LOU report show the present module firmware status for a particular VIN and highlight whether updates are available? Has anyone tried asking their dealer for this information and a copy of the programming history for their car? All I've ever received are...

Sorry - I misremembered the price I paid. It was £32,500. Since my post I've had my insurance renewal (gasp!) so I've had a quick look at used prices in preparation for my annual trawl through the price comparison sites. I think used prices are a little under £20,000. Allowing a dealer...

The thing with PCP is that you're guaranteed the car will have a specific value at the end of the 3 year term (or whatever period you chose). If you can sell it for more than that at the end of the term them you can buy at the specified price and sell at a profit. Altenatively, you can often...

Perhaps MK has become expensive. I've just received my renewal for £621. Up 24% on last year (which was up 59% on the year before). I thought prices were supposed to be reducing. I'm an old git too. It's scandalous.

I had that happen to me (unknowingly; just one scuff, not two) in the short time between cleaning/checking my previous car for damage and selling it to Cazoo. Even though they admitted it was in great condition, they knocked £800 off the price offered.

I've never had a distance displayed, only the coloured bars and beeps. I'm on R46 - was it new at R59?.

If only it were so simple. In my car (with R46), I have to: 1. Select the 'Car' icon, 2. Select the 'Safety' tab (because it's not selected by default as in the video) 3. Select the 'Power Off' button 4. Confirm that I want to power-off More often than not, the touch screen doesn't respond to...

Is there a simple way of turning-off the DRLs when leaving the car with passengers inside. I'm always returning to my car to find the lights on. I'm sure it must annoy other people in car parks, too - wondering if my car is about to start moving when they want to leave their parking space.

I've had my MG4 Trophy Long Range (Holborn Blue) for around 17 months, now, and I'm still confounded by its lane assist features. I don't change any settings in any 'pre-flight schedule', but sometimes when I'm driving along it will beep at me, sometimes vibrate the steering and at other times...

Are you sure? There's no way for module versions to be interrogated? Then again, from what we've learnt over the past 2 years...
