Perhaps a reset would bring back the original settings and the announcements?

The only reason I monitor mpg is to check for any downward trend, hopefully to be forewarned of any potential problems.

That's what it's all about, the simple, purity of driving for pleasure.... Love it

You need to look at Liquid Leather's Scuff Master products. They can match any automotive colour. https://www.liquidleather.com/22-scuffmaster-dyes

My experience with the triple LEDs on my RC in the couple of foggy days recently would support that. The sharply defined dipped beam pattern cut through the fog without causing scatter. Much better than the xenons on my previous car.

The Mercedes auto-lights were quite clever. It had two sensors and would detect the approaching tunnel but also the approaching light at the end of the tunnel. So, if the tunnel was very short, or a bridge, the lights wouldn't come on at all. Never got it wrong in the 12yrs of using the system. The RC on the other hand is very quick to switch on the lights. Even on the least sensitive setting .

This is the argument that gets most vexing, as one simply cannot know for certain it's correct. Yes the parts may well come from the same factory and quite probably the same production line but are they to the same quality? I know, from speaking with Michelin, that Mercedes 'MO' labelled tyres are manufactured the same as all other tyres of that spec but Mercedes require that a far tighter quality criteria be applied on tyres tested and only those that conform are allowed to be labelled 'MO'. It doesn't mean that a tyre without the 'MO' label doesn't meet the criteria but as a buyer one knows with confidence that the one that is 'MO' does... One can apply the same to other service parts.

I think the majority of people are fully aware of this these days. I also think the majority of people, myself included, prefer to buy from Lexus/Mercedes/BMW etc.. because we know we will be getting the correct spec part of a know and consistent quality. Yes, possibly (but definitely not always) more expensive than non-dealer sourced parts but peace of mind is assured and that to me is worth the small premium ...

MoT only requires tyres of the same construction on the same axle. By construction it means radial or crossply. Even radials of steel and nylon are considered the same

It states in the handbook... "Running out of fuel When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the hybrid system cannot be started, refuel the vehicle with at least enough gasoline to make the low fuel level warning light (→P. 523) go off. If there is only a small amount of fuel, the hybrid system may not be able to start. (The standard amount of fuel is about 10 L [2.7 gal., 2.2 Imp. gal.] when the vehicle is on a level surface. This value may vary when the vehicle is on a slope. Add extra fuel when the vehicle is inclined.)"

Nicely done Admin, thank you!

Or try doing as I described above...

As above sounds like normal seat belt function. With my granddaughter's Britax seat (not Isofix) I pull the seat belt really tight whilst pushing the seat firmly into the car seat. As I release the belt it does lock, presumably because the seat is exerting tension on the belt.

The test needs to have more evaluation of the driver's car control and spacial awareness based on the number of 'abandoned' cars one sees so called parked by the roadside...

Nice, very similar to the current F-Sport offering

Removes a test of the driver's ability to control the vehicle using forward and reverse gears, plus reversed coordination.. 'Tis the modern way... If this means the driver is to identify and describe hazards and other road user's intentions, then a good move. It's what advanced driver tuition requires A good move, tests the driver's initiative and confidence Good, tests observation as well as vehicle control. Should also introduce parallel parking , if not already included..

Looks like a taxi and is never clean.. for long! Only joking Seriously, black cars always look awesome and imposing. I gave up on my black AMG as it just was heartbreaking to see the dust settle within hours..

Marin Bear Valley SE, fantastic bike saw me up and down some great rides

In the hybrid one would turn off the car in a gear other than Park if one wanted to continue listening to the radio etc.. as the system doesn't shut down but goes into Accessory mode.

If it were my choice, either of the Skylines ...

Different car, I was up in Milton Keynes back then.
