Recent trip to Edinburgh in the W203

[garystu1965]

Absolute quality. Went up to Edinburgh (from Manchester) on Friday night after work. Left at 6.30pm - got there at 9.45pm. Cruised effortlessly on M6, M74. Then took my favourite road - the A701 Moffat road. Basically 50 miles of sweeping country lanes all the way to Edinburgh. Although it was two below zero she stuck to the road like glue. COMAND worked a treat - right to the hotel door. 47 mpg !!! :bannana:
On the trip back stopped off in the Lake District (Keswick) + a few other places and got 44 mpg. The COMAND even found me the nearest BP station in Edinburgh so I could fill her up with BP Ultimate Diesel. A quality driving experience.

Plus got the customary "You've left your lights on mate" when I parked up in a retail park and the lights stay on for a bit.

"Oh I've set the computer to leave them on for 30 seconds" I informed him

30SEC headlamp delay is too long and attracts too much unwanted attention (and could potentially be inviting some yob to do something to your car...) so I have set my Headlamp Locator Delay to 15Sec for interior/exterior. My sensor was recently replaced under warranty and is soo sensitive now that the head headlamp locators function during the slightest bit of cloud or even the shadow from a tree/building etc. in full normal day light.

Yup, the A701 Moffat road is a stonker, you should try it on a motorbike. :bannana:
