Good result Thomo.
Had an R BE for 7 months now and love it. As a reformed serial modder it’s something one can buy/lease and not feel the urge to change anything on it.

You’ll have to change your user name now though, but then again you might end up changing forum instead 😁

I have an uphill drive that I reverse down, even after 7 and a bit years it makes me jump out of my skin when it goes off😂😡

Indeed, covering the brake pedal helps.
I have a 1 inch (3cm for our EU members 😁) -ish lip going into my garage which causes all hell to break loose in the emergency stop department if I clip it as 0.01 mph (very very slow for our EU members 😁) front, rear, parking and god knows what else brakes slam on full if my foot isn’t resting very gently on the pedal.

There’s a junction I have to edge out of occasionally that is quite narrow with houses opposite and a defined hump in the road which really upset the collision gear on my mk8’s but for some reason doesn’t bother the 8.5 as much. I still keep a foot lightly resting on the brake pedal though, just in case.

I recently did a full standard charge (not recond) using a CTEK MXS5.0 charger, I checked the battery stats with a multi meter after and it was holding 12.7v with ignition off, 12.0v with ignition on, 10.7v during engine cranking and 14.4v whilst idling (all seems normal).

Since charging the battery, I haven’t seen any travel assist warnings or 12v battery circuit errors. I’m monitoring things, but hopefully all remains as normal!

Yeah, my 7.5 used to do that every so often when reversing into my garage. Used to scare the life out of me as it sounds horrible when it applies the brakes!

Will see if my new CS does it, I’m expecting it will. To be fair I’d rather it be a bit on the sensitive side. It once saved me from a miscalculated reverse!
