We're still here...

Just to set your mind at rest, Colin. Had my L&K heated windscreen done at Autoglass including calibration. Went perfectly with no problems in the past 3 years. They got me to check everything before I left. Really good service, and covered by insurance minus a relatively small excess.

Drove it home from Heathrow. No great drama, I hear you say. Except that it was parked up there for two months. And it's on the original battery, which is 5 years old. I'd made sure my jumper was fully charged before we went, but it wasn't needed. Didn't even need to use the fob to open the doors. Genuinely impressed.

Try it again. Did mine yesterday and it worked fine.

What did you replace it with @Gizmo, if you don't mind me asking?

Optional on the MY17 L&K too.

Updated the navigation. Now it remembers how to get me most of the way home... Thanks as always to @MartiniBfor the link .

If you have the active lane guidance as well as DSG they combine to give Traffic Jam Assist, where the car will do the crawling for you (including stopping without you touching the brakes). Brilliant in my neck of the woods where the motorway run is followed by a crawl into the city centre.

Yes it's a common issue due to the lights not being sealed. It's worse in winter and disappears in spring. Nothing to worry about. There are lots of threads on here about it if you want to do a search, but the main message is don't worry about it.

AFAIK all 2017 cars above the base model have ACC. The way to tell is to check that the green speedometer light appears when you engage it, then set it at the longest distance setting and check (while covering the brake pedal and watching like a hawk) that your car is showing as the car in front does. From memory there is also a speed limiter function which engages from a button on the bottom of the ACC stalk. It's worth checking if you have engaged that by accident. And if none of that helps, post some pictures of the messages you see on the screen and we can see how it compares with our cars. Good luck and with it.

Hi @SkudMissile21 just to confirm my MY17 L&K has the same gaps. Annoying for live albums for sure. Would be interested if you find a fix.

What - all of them?

@penguin17?

One that works for me... I have a small drying towel and a woolly mammoth for drying the car after washing. I use the small one until pretty well soaked, then after finishing drying the exterior with the woolly mammoth I use the small towel to clean all the shuts. Agree with @john999boy re paper towels - and paint doesn't self-heal in the same way human body parts do😄.

Hi @plasma99 and welcome. Can't help directly, but a few questions if i may that might allow others to help diagnose. When you talk about the tailgate button, do you mean the one on the centre console or the one on the tailgate itself? Estate or hatch? How much has the car been driven recently? Sorry for all the questions, but it's not clear to me what is actually going on. On mine I only get a warning noise if using the button on the centre console (not when using the button on the hatch). I've heard that drained battery can cause various problems (in mine the worst was start-stop unavailable and keyless opening not working, but others have had multiple failures). So I would start by making sure the battery is fully charged. If that doesn't sort it, I'm afraid it may require replacement of the tail button. ISTR others have had this problem and had parts replaced under warranty (doesn't help you i know). Id recommended a search of this forum to see what it turns up. Good luck with it.
