First MOT, phase one MG4s

[mg4mc]

I only used it until it slows down then release, back up to speed and repeat, if you let it come to halt it will not let you drive again for a few seconds - seems like ages when you are waiting! You don't have to release the accelerator, just release the brake and it starts speeding up again.

I think I will try this tomorrow - Thank you very much for the tip.

Here is the dashcam footage, I did 60 kph and 80 kph apparently. During the second one you can hear some clicking/thumping noises which is the ABS activating. And as you can see the car takes off again as soon as the EPB button is released.

I pulled it until the car came to a stop, kept my foot on the accelerator and it took off again as soon as I released the parking brake. Braking with the gear selector in N is what I generally do for maintenance, same stretch of road as in the above video. I think the EPB only acts on the rear brakes, but don’t quote me on that.

Only my rear brakes are a bit "dirty" so its exactly what I need

'72 Trophy, passed first MOT in November last year with no advisories. I changed the tyres beforehand as the rears were getting low - my fault for sliding the back around all the time!

I think the results so far show that the suspension issues are relatively rare and I have been unlucky with my car.

There's another suspension fail whose owner hasn't voted. We've actually got four cases - you, the non-voter whose car also failed, the one that was only given an advisory for it, and the one where something was noticed at the 2-year service and remedied. But you're right, it's relatively uncommon, apparently.
