brake

A brake is a mechanical device that inhibits motion by absorbing energy from a moving system. It is used for slowing or stopping a moving vehicle, wheel, axle, or to prevent its motion, most often accomplished by means of friction.

    Does high regen turn the brake light on?

    High re-gen slows the car quite dramatically, more so that I'm used to with ICE cars and therefore more than drivers behind me might expect. So, I wonder, does it apply the brake light to warn the driver behind it's dropped the anchor? Si

    Never mind the brake lights, check the steering wheel!!

    C'mon - who's going to be first then ?? 😁👍 ( if I could afford it I so would 😂)

    Anyone 'pepped their brake lights up' yet, as Vyvyan would say?

    Anyone pepped their brake lights up yet. And more importantly I suppose, is it legal ? ( AliExpress special). Certainly make your point when braking. Probably extremely irritating if fired during regen braking and sitting at lights with foot on brake.

    Anyone need brake pads yet?

    So what do you think of this shameless profiteering from the only MG parts suppplier I could initially find online. MG4 Front Brake Pads. Volkswagen Golf GTD Front Brake Pads. Let's hope we can purchase from Ali Express or such like when required eh?

    Brake discs

    I recently took my MG4 SE for its first service at the dealership who informed me to check in six months that I my may need to replace my brake discs. Is this normal after only 4,500 miles? Are they made of Weetabix or cardboard? I have run discs up to 30,000 miles in the past and replaced them...

    Sudden automatic braking issue

    Driving out of a Morrison's supermarket at the weekend my MG4 suddenly decided to [for the want of a better phrase] emergency brake. This happened once before in the new year, but I out it down to a one off. Fortunately there was no one behind me, but it did give my passenger and I quite a...

    MG 5 - Car "dies" in traffic queue with manual parking brake applied

    I have a two and a half year old MG5 long range and on two occasions (several weeks apart) I have been waiting in traffic with the manual parking brake applied and when I try to move off (by just pressing the accelerator) nothing happens! I can't be sure but I think the heating fan stops but the...

    The Late Brake Show makes a good point about the MG4

    So basically if you're considering the Honda e:Ny1 EV, then for £20k less you can get an MG4. Or alternatively, when you can get a Tesla for the same money, who in the hell would buy an e:Ny1?

    Park brake motors burned out (service mode)

    Late 2020 MG ZS EV, approx 60k miles. Hi, I recently had my rear brake pads replaced at my local garage. They advised me that there was now a warning light on the dash (autohold fault). Not only that, but the parking brake also doesn't work, meaning I had to put logs behind the wheels to stop...

    Put Parking Brake in service mode

    Hi Do you know how I put Parking Brake in service mode on MG ZS EV 2020 or is it not possible? Regards Runar
  11. Something positive for a change

    I've never seen this before, but when you come off the throttle, the brake lights activate. I've never seen this before.

    Accelerator pedal stuck down!

    On my way to work I accelerated at a roundabout, not especially hard and quickly realised it was continuing to accelerate despite me not wanting to. I was able to use the brake but every time I took my foot off the brake it accelerated alarmingly quickly. I should point out I didn't have any...

    Can I adjust the pedal position/location?

    Hi. I'm in Australia, and had a test drive here. For me, one of the most disappointing things was the pedal location. The brake and the accelerator are both in the middle. Does anyone know if I can move the pedal to further right? I was keep pressing down the empty space on the right side of...

    I used the parking brake !!

    Having had the car for 2 years and a ZS EV before that for a year I had never used the parking brake switch on either car until this last weekend. :) I had always found the footbrake, Autohold and Park to cover all my needs for holding the car when stopped. However for some reason sat at lights...

    PARKING BRAKE FAILS TO RELEASE

    Good Afternoon. I have a 2022 HS that covered approx 15000 kilometres. The park brake engages automatically when the ignition is switched off and normally disengages when brake button is pressed down. This morning, the brake did not release and I had to put the car into Drive and press the...

    Mk2 brake lights flashing every few seconds

    I was following a mk2 today on a 40mph road for several minutes. When there were no other cars infront (potentially activating its adaptive cruise control), it’s brake lights very briefly flashed on roughly every 5 seconds. It would've been very interesting if I’d have been able to ask them...

    Reverse Delay

    If I put the car in reverse and take my foot off the brake, it takes 3-4 seconds before the car will start moving backwards. However if something is within range of the parking sensors then it will start moving instantly as the brake is released. Is this normal behaviour?

    Parking brake

    I occasionally experience that the parking brake does not release automatically when I put the gear in drive or reverse. I then have to unlock it manually with the button in the middle. does anyone have this too?

    Merged thread: Automatic Emergency Braking activating for no reason

    My wife was scared sh**less this morning when her MG4 Trophy did a sudden and totally inappropriate emergency stop, whilst travelling at 30mph through a quiet nearby village. A Tesla was following at a safe distance and fortunately no collision took place. The car was then ok to drive away...
