It is bad news for Mercedes but par for the course for Members here.

Some of us do Peter. Do you ?

And so say many of us David. Very well said.

Snap !

Thanks Matt. It`a bit like, for example; The Bible The Highway Code The Encyclopedia Britannica and now Google. They are all sources of knowledge and good, sound and worthwhile information. We ignore them at our peril.

Absolutely no need to get personal Ged ! (lol)

Mandy Rice Davies ?

Indeed they were Rick. Alan Shepherd, Scott Carpenter, Gordon Cooper and John Glenn. Four of the original Mercury 7. The first three all had sub-orbital flights and John Glenn was the first American to orbit the Planet.

Which is what it says in the Handbook Mark !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Read your Handbook Nick...it just might explain all.

And do you know how the names of the 4? sons originated David? (Alan, Scott, Gordon and John)

I`d be willing to bet that Dumbledore could light up a 230v lamp with a 1.5 AA battery !

Sorry David, I should have had my Weetabix before logging on! I misread your input and thought you had a 450h.Colin has answered your point though. He is pivotal as far as this Forum is concerned. I try hard to instill a discipline whereby (particularly new) Members come on and ask questions without making any effort to do any research themselves. Most people take it in good heart, but occasionally some take umbrage. I categorise them in my own mind as former Audi,BMW or Merc drivers who have Company Cars and now want to drive Lexus F Sport models as it lowers their personal taxation levels. They complain that Lexus don`t have this, or can`t do that. They don`t signal their intentions, don`t observe Mirror-Signal-Manoeuvre practice and are thoroughly irresponsible drivers. Just my way of dealing, mentally with such requests David and I`m sorry if I caused offence to you and possibly others. Most people do accept that say, 80% of them do have the answers right in front of their eyes. Anybody who has a difficulty and asks for help always receives it. Continue to enjoy your numerous machines David and hopefully we can all enjoy some light hearted banter on the way.

Just been re-reading my copy of The Eagle Annual 1954......and you are all wrong !!

David asks "The 450h does not have "B" - how does that perform engine braking?" My Handbook for the 450h explains! There really is no substitute for (1) Reading one`s Handbook, (2) Complying with the Highway Code and (3) asking this Forum for advice --in that order ! The spokesperson for the Prosecution now rests !

If possible, do not straddle speed bumps. but drive over them with one front wheel over the centre and the other on the flat.

I`m really pleased to read all of this Sunshine ! Welcome to the Hybrid World. Read and re-read your Handbook, or I will be back on my keyboard. The word you are looking for David as regards moving forward is......linear ! Super,duper smooooooth ! Seriously, it took me 12 months to come to terms with the Hybrid experience and whilst I want to tell the whole World about it.....I do not want everybody to find out about it. Give us more reports in due course please.

And play havoc with tyres too ! Are you able to change your route to avoid or minimise their effect ?

Ged, how do you negotiate speed bumps ?

Stop worrying Bart--just ask them and write down what they tell you.

Martin ,In my view he will sell at the sahre price which satisfies him and the buyer will pick up the pieces !

Just unbelievable business lunacy. I have been a Member on both a Tesla and a Range Rover website for the past 6 months. I cannot believe the apparent stupidity of people who accept vehicles with deficiencies upon delivery and accept ongoing problems. Money and common sense are mutually exclusive to many people. Tesla and Range Rover.....ask not for whom the Bell Tolls !

Many thanks Bart for providing a helpful background.
