Was doing a job on the car yesterday and disconnected the battery as I was delving into the wiring loom. Was off about 2 hours. Reconnected the battery, everything went back to default. Driven it this morning, and it just seems better, little bit more responsive in fact.
Could this happen, or is it just my mind playing tricks?

I don't know but it will be interesting to find out,how many times have we sorted our pc out by turning the power off for a while ?

Many times.

It's true that light travels faster than sound, some people look quite intelligent until you hear them speak.


Stop global winging.

It will feel better, many of the little electrical gremlins will disappear after a battery disconnection, you've just done the Hard Reset, you might find you need to reset the window closing though

Getting part exd against a 2011 on Wednesday, so the windows can stay as they are

that's the reason, all cars feel better a few days before your going to trade them in !!

For me, cars always seem better when freshly cleaned inside & out! From a time when dinosaurs weren't just confined to zoos!

The ecu gets it's data removed with a hard reset.

As you drive the car stores all kinds of info to adapt to your driving style.
When you do a hard reset all this data gets wiped.

So it may feel different for a few days.

For the first few months (year?) of owning my (second hand) FL2, I got stellar fuel economy; about 700km to a tank. Nowadays, I get about 620km to a tank.

I would like to know what the bloody ECU stored about my driving and I wish it would adapt back!  1st time FL2 owner. 2007 SE i6 in Tambora Flame.

Try disconnecting the battery for a couple of hours and see if you get your 700kms back. Just keep doing it to maintain if it works.

Could indidate a problem of some kind, of course. My fuel consumption increased significantly over the last couple of months - turned out the rear brake pads had delaminated and were binding - not enough to be obvious, but enough to affect the fuel consumption.
