Well having just completed an afternoons driving in the new car with SWMBO I have a sore right knee due to only applying the lightest of touches to the throttle pedal. Every time I forgot they both growled, not my knee, the car and SWMBO still she doesn't come out with me every day and driving gently I did manage 17mpg - happy days😄 Geoff

better having a sore knee than a sore head after the wife whacks you for going to fast..  ... - .- -.

Maybe this is something for you then...?

Cruise control...

Thanks Robert I think I just need to be gentle with her  Geoff

Tell SWMBO that the car is very deceptive and that you are actually not driving fast at all You're in a 500 bhp monster and that should be driven with a bit of "verve" IMHO  MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

Actually, to be terribly boring and constructive I used to get this.

Try adjusting the seat so it's slightly higher at the back than the front, move it back slightly from your normal position, i.e. straighten the leg a bit. It worked for me.

i have a sore right knee, as my seating position, means that on my 2002, the knee rests against the door catch. I have tried different positions, but don't feel comfortable. I keep meaning to make a small hard foam pad and having it fixed on a piece of elastic to the door catch trim securing screw. one day I will sort this out. but unless I'm booting it, it really annoys me as every little rut in the road jiggles it a bit more! on a long journey it plays havoc! the left shin rests against the console verticle trim, -that's fine.

over the weekend we drove to bristol and on the way there it was a sublime 75'ish but on the way back it was 85/90 and the wife didnt say anything until a mini which had previously overtook, slowed down in front of us on the hill coming up to the Bath junction and i overtook still doing the same speed but without showing any effort going up this hill.. ... - .- -.
