Try a cold dent repair if the paint is ok a decent smart repairer should be able to sort

Found out the radar doesn't like hail! It gave me a sensor error for a few miles whilst the M4 enjoyed some very heavy hail. Probably the heaviest hail I've seen whilst driving though.

It disengages in absolute torrential rain too - a combination of radar interference and maybe knowing the road surface might be sub-optimal I suspect.

I had an Emergency Braking one tonight in a 30 zone it just rammed the brakes on, pooped my pants, no real reason either. The person behind me decided they would leave a massive gap from now on. The problem was my instinct was to press the brake pedal which made it worse, pressing the accelerator again made it cancel it.

Had the car in for its first service today ,looks like the boys must have taken it for a joy ride,because 10 miles was added to the clock plus one big stone chip,give yourself 10 points for spotting it.

Yep, if that's it, looks a massive chip  :shocked:  What are they going to do about it?  Not sure I would trust them to sort it properly.
