Agree.



They didn't put the clutch down. Thats why the propshaft was bouncing around like that.

tbf I thought it was going to happen on the first time round.

Anyone know how to an Emergency stop in an Automatic? I've tried just slamming the brake on but nothing. Because my hazards are meant to flash when I do.

The same way you do it in a manual use the foot brake!

They really need to remove the "detach rear axle" pedal.

i didnt reliase mine did this until the other week, you have to properly floor the brake pedal to get the hazzards to come in, braking heavily doesnt make them come on.

best advice i have when doing emergency stop (you dont need to do this i just have done) is to flick the gears down at the same time i feel it slows down quicker.

edit: also hazards only come on if braking from certain speeds iirc.
