What sort of seal/gasket does this rocker cover use?

A battery is not part of the MoT, but it's often explicitly excluded from a warranty as a "wearing component".

Which is impossible; dampers have no effect on ride height.

Well, there is some load on the battery; IME it will only last about 3 or 4 years, but the fuel saving is worthwhile (based on knowing some drivers for Hampden Cars (Later GlasGO Cars) in Glasgow). Load on the engine (the crankshaft is part of the engine) was not an issue in their experiencee.

That's the issue; it smells of exhaust but takes weeks, sometimes months, to become audible.

s/UK/Ingurlundshire according to the scan of the manual.

Which means 145(/80)R12.

Exhaust flexipipe has gone porous?

Maybe, maybe, and use a proper continuity tester across the wires in the front door bellows.

No it doesn't. The function would cause the vehicle that is driving 30 feet behind you at 70mph to brake when you do, so you don't get a Suburban Useless Vehicle slamming into your back.

Your car doesn't have a similar "rear protect" function that will force panic braking on your tailgit.

I can't be definitive, but I suspect it's the function, benignly named "front assist" or similar that actually does "panic break if a crisp packet tries to run across the road in front of you", activating full emergency braking in the process. Did you notice the hazard lights triggering at this time? (asked for confirmation)

Top Dead Centre.

The grooves are the oil level markers; the orange plastic is the handle and to hold the stick central in the tube. 1.0l from the bottom "refill now" marker (when the top up now yellow oil light comes on) to the top "oil full" one.

Change that before even thinking about a new motor then.

I've just tried to message you regarding who is on my ignore list other than wyx.

Which tells us absolutely nothing except that you have non-standard tyres and suspension.

I presume you've never used a proper dismantling lubricant.

I'm not exactly certain how to adjust the switch but there's a make to break switch somewhere around the edge of the tailgate (quite possibly near the catch). You need to get more pressure on that switch when the tailgate is closed.

I think the RARB is adjustable, so you could try setting it softer.

Map issue, whether by design or incompetence.

Apply PlusGas, then leave overnight.

@Cozza89 - Given that it's seatbelt related it may not be available as a separate component.

@J.R. Reblocked for arrogance!

So put the video on a site like Youtube, and then link it here using the link control. Check the fault codes, ambient temperature sensor and engine temperature sensor.
