My radio works! But now another things stopped. Pushed the button several times, stopped the car, etc. Doesn't work.

Otherwise it is one top gimmick for me. Usually good in the summer and when someone comes too close. It was my "James Bond"-button

Keep pressing the button, you will have a little bit of the magnet broken off inside the motor, once this dislodges, it will start working as normal again.

Thanks for giving me hope, my brother!

I give it a rest. Will try on Monday again.

Because it doesn't automatically floor the accelerator for me when I feel like a bit of excitement!

Seriously, I feel that I can control the accelerator just as well, if not better, than a CC.

I don't object to them, as I like toys and believe that people should enjoy whatever toys they fancy, but whether a car has one or not would not be a serious consideration for me if buying a car.

Talking about cruise control why does It read in the owner's handbook that cruise control shouldn't be used with sport mode ? I did It nevertheless and that works jolly well !

Like automatic kick down as it feels.

1. Cruise Control
2. Heated/Memory Seats
3. Rear Blind (It's actually quite useful to prevent the sun cooking the insides when the car's parked up.

I just leave the sunroof open a smidgen to do that.

That reminds me - My father's 1950's Morris Oxford had a rear blind, manual of course, operated by a pull cord in the roof lining.

I do this too, I use the cc a lot because I'm lazy

Also I wondered if I am the only one to drive with sport enabled all the time, I find it much more suited to this car.

Ah but I live in Tipton, so that's not an option.

I have known the fibre gear in the motors gearbox to strip a tooth or two.
A new one can be made but a year or two when I asked I was quoted about £50. A second hand blind is only about £20
