Anyway, here's a few tips to get LC working -
1) Engine needs to be warm (>75C should do it);
2) Stop car (handbrake off!) and enter Sport+ mode;
3) Put left foot hard on brake pedal (like emergency braking) and hold it down;
4) Push auto transmission lever to the left to enter sport/manual mode;
5) Push the accelerator pedal to the floor with right foot (chequered flag appears after a second on the right hand side of the black panel display);
6) Take left foot off the brake pedal whilst keeping right foot 'floored';
7) Say hello to 60mph in less than 5 seconds!
I suspect those who haven't managed to trigger LC haven't quite followed one or more of steps 1, 3 or 5 above.

Daft question, but do you have to shift gears yourself?
