My MIL is short and as tight as a ducks arse, tesco trolley it is then. Every little helps.

If its the same as the mg5, put it in drive then turn the park brake back on. Accelerate and the park brake releases and off you go. Or use auto hold if you have it.

Pfl mg5, had it 4 years and the windscreen is intact. In fact a month after having it a brick hit the windscreen, I was following a skip lorry, it made a massive impact noise and I'm surprised I didn't fill my boxers. No marks were left on the windscreen.

No, I get nominated for fixing my daughters and son in laws cars when things go wrong. I've took a few interior panels off on my time

If anyone was looking at the car trim removal kit, they are quite thick at the tips, 3-4mm. If you're looking for slim tips to open up some finer parts, these aren't for you.

Cleevely getting rid of their mg5's and moving to something with less range and more room, I'm guessing vans.

So if you have to brake hard to avoid someone cutting you up, do you get penalised as such in it's data? Or is it more data friendly to crash? A friend works for a company who give the drivers bonuses for careful driving, hard accelerating or braking impacts their score and they lose their...

I had a Sunday roast in a pub yesterday, no mash potato so I don't think I can count it. :unsure:

I'll be taking it for it's service there next year, to keep up the warranty, and see what they come up with. They also sent me a vehicle health check report on email, i have 7mm on my front brake pads. The tech must have a different tape measure to mine, as it looks like there's a good 10-12...

Yeah, they had 3 others in a when I handed over the keys she put them in a clear folder. There were 3 other folders with keys in.
