Offline | reverse gear crunch! Has anyone got any difficulty getting into reverse without embasrassing gear crunch? I thought it was just me, but my wife has admitted that she has the same problem on her cabby too. Are we both stupid and have the touch of Emile Heskey? Every time we go for reverse its hit or miss if we crunch them. Any comments? Oh yes, my wife got into her car this afternoon and the courtesy light AND the HEADLIGHTS came on before she put any key in the ignition and when we switched the light indicators up and down there was a funny clicky whirring noise. Wife thinks theres an electrical problem |

Offline | We had the same (gear crunch) problem. Dealer said they all do that - which was supported by people in this forum. They showed me "the knack" and it has been fine since. Your other question may be down to the way the remote has been programmed. I was told (by my dealer) that there are various options on the way the remote works. The dealer programmes them and the process is not very logical - so it is easy to do wrong. G |

Offline | hi taz, don't know about the lights but in my car, for reverse i wait for a sec until the revs drop down to under 1000rpm - mite be slightly different on yours - then it doesn't crunch. j '06' Cooper S Convertible - Astro Black, '04' Mazda RX8 231 - Black |
