When you then get back to the car park just leave it in D with the handbrake off. No need to leave the keys in.

I would then give the car 30mins before the next lap  :happy2:

....Crikey! I've been leaving it with the handbrake off but in P. Never had any probs so far but I may have been doing it wrong - Anyone explain a bit more detail info about P, please?

Again, I'm probably wrong, but why as long as 30mins? Though it's actually about the same timing I do but not consciously.

Hi Robin,

I am not 100% sure, but I think (I read somewhere or someone told me) that in P the brakes are applied..............but I could be talking poop  :ashamed:  :ashamed:  :ashamed:

P is correct, sorry it was a slip after some wine  :drinking: :laugh: :laugh:

RedRobin:
^^^^
So leaving DSG in P is okay (Phew!) and so doesn't actually engage the handbrake?  :confused:

SteveP:
Nope P does not use the brakes as far as I am aware.

....Cheers Steve - Good to know  :happy2:

[Thinks: I guess it must use the gears.. Pretty logical as P is a DSG setting]

SteveP:
^^^ Yes that's my thinking that it locks the front wheels via the transmission  :happy2:
