Yes, but you've made two statements. One that the current legislation was brought in for pedestrian safety, and that is why the rear lights do not illuminate. The government state otherwise, as per the link I provided and deep purple has as well, and the links I've provided so far indicate that...

I'm going to sound like an A***e, but here goes anyway. I'm begging you to please stop posting your misconceptions as fact. It's the principal thing that's wrong with the internet. People post things as fact with absolutely no evidence to back up these 'facts', when quite often they are wrong...

My poor choice of words stating "related to Pedestrian safety". I agree that the measures relate to Pedestrian Safety, and will make vehicles more visible to pedestrians as well as other drivers, but it is principally aimed at other drivers, as per my quotation that you agree with. HairyFool...

There are people on here saying the reason for DRL legislation is related to pedestrian safety, and that is why only the fronts are mandated. I do not believe this to be the case, do you have any corroboration of these statements ? The Government website, states "Daytime running lights (DRL)...

It's not unreasonable to expect the auto lights to function as they should. ie turn on the lights when they are needed rather than at some point after they are needed. It is not comparable to saying the seats should move electrically when the car does not have this function. If there was no auto...

He doesn't say "problems", but says "battery degradation". Irrespective of how it's charged, batteries will deteriorate to a greater or lesser extent due to the number of charge cycles, it's inevitable. Some methods of charging will cause greater degradation than others, but if it's had miles...

Apologies if it sounds like I'm nit picking, I'm just curious. I thought the thrust of the question was, is the MG5 worse in key areas than the ID3, (one of them being boot space) as I thought you'd agreed to receive the ID3 (which was changed out last minute) so you would have received an ID3...

Although maybe better in some areas, it sounds like the ID3 might no longer have been the ideal choice, if you now need the extra boot space ? Are you never passing St Albans, or somewhere else with an MG dealer, just to get a look ?

MG5 - 464 litres of boot space ID3 - 385 litres of boot space. So if you felt the ID3 was large enough the MG should suffice.

Having reread the Original Post, the description is of no feet on the pedals when the car accelerated. The description states that the car took off when he removed his foot from the brake pedal. You would have thought this more difficult to confuse with pressing the wrong pedal, but certainly...

There's wiki page (see below) on Sudden unintended acceleration. The most famous example being the Audi 5000, in the 80's where it was being reported that that car was accelerating on it's own, with lawsuits being taken out against Audi, and decimating their sales. It turned out the the brake...

I hope you have called the MG assistance back, just to confirm that you are now on their system ? There is a thread on here, where a member discovered he wasn't covered when he needed them. The dealer said it was a mistake and would add him. Then subsequently back tracked and said he wouldn't...

Import from Europe ? If that version of the car is already for sale in Europe, presumably you'd stand a better chance of getting it where they are actually selling the car ? Perhaps even a European MG dealer ?

I did say "I might be misreading the situation", so I recognise the situation isn't clear, but he says "get out of their way", not "slow down".

How are you getting out of the way of HGV's ? I might be misreading the situation, but it sounds like you are hogging the middle lane if you are able to move over to allow HGVs to pass ? If there is room for you to move over for HGVs, then there is room for you to be in the inside lane and...

If they'd really been on the ball, they could have made the flap an octagon, and made it one big badge. It's not far off that shape as it is.

Is it just me that thinks the MG badge should be on the charging flap ?

There's certainly a chance that you won't have your new car by then, but I would imagine the current lease agreement could be extended to accommodate.
