it must be the stupid green arrow flashing at me

pulling off the motorway and i also forgot to change gear to coast onto the roundabout, 30mph and 6th gear wasn't the best choice Laughing Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Driving back to the dealers, got on motorway reset trip and got 41 mpg Shocked at 70

my old manual never did that Shocked

same thing on way back 31mpg in my auto

no faults found, and it's linked to the system so he presumed it would have had a SW update, nothing found with the slight movement in drivers seat, only for it to do it as soon as I drove off Rolling Eyes
