Indeed I can confirm that there is a recall being issued.... I only found out when dropping my car in on Friday for an AirCon issue... where whilst going through the paper work the agent said 'oh and it's in for a recall too'.... to which I responded in surprise and asked 'a recall for...
Nope. Was offered (and accepted as there was little time to negotiate) an MG3 petrol.... will be contacting the dealer next week to see if there is any chance of getting something of a similar size to the 5 as I can't fit my normal EDC tools in the 3!
In total how long did it take for MG to source the replacement parts for the Aircon replacement? Mines just gone in to the dealer with an Aircon compressor problem, and have been told that the car cannot be driven until the unit is replaced.... now braving myself for a long wait without my 5....
I'm guessing that you are doing the test in a fairly built up area, and so not actually travelling that fast when taking your foot off for KERS3 to start SLOWING the car? If so, because of the slower initial speed the ability to regenerate is reduced (less kinetic energy in the system) and so it...
Really depends on your definition of 'legal'. In the eyes of the law anything being carried or transported must be done in a safe and secure manner without hazard or danger to yourself or those around you... you could just lash something directly to your roof and so long as you can prove that...
Since the bars are still not officially rated... but in my (humble) opinion mounting the bike rack as close to the side rails as possible would be the best option as it will give a more direct line of force down though its' base and in to the rail/foot of the roof rails.... happens to make the...
When you do go to fit 'for use, slide the front bar as far forward, and the rear as far back along the rails as you can... should then give the recommended separation for your bike rack :). Will also position the clamp across the section where the foot and main bar on - so giving more 'meat' for...
MTB? The ones on my 29" Spectral are short enough not to interfere with the Yakima system. Really just depends on how far over the top/ round the back of the wheel that your mudguards extend.
I can only talk about my experience with the Yakima (never tried the Thule Upride):
Step 1: Flop the front holder up and forward
Step 2: Lift bike up on to rack and roll forward in to the front holder (very similar to the INNO), this holds the bike up pretty well as the bike tries to roll...
Bolts need to have the correct angle on the base/collar to suit the wheel. I don't know what the specs are for the MG 5 bolts or the Mk Golf wheel, just that if you get the wrong contact angles things can go horribly wrong....
