Returning From The Dark Side

Ok so speed wise;

Car says / SatNav says

20mph / 19mph

40mph / 38mph

50mph / 47mph

60mph / 57mph

So in all pretty similar, allowing for human error on my part and not keeping the car at a totally consistent speed so pretty happy with that.

You sound like Les Dennis on that rubbishy game show thing...

Ha ha!

Found another cool gadget on the car, the rear centre arm rest houses a 2 x cup holder!

Also my car has cruise control and speed limiter, I have read the manual but I'm still a bit confused about them, is it best just to have a play en route?

Just set the permanent limit to 30mph..things won't get too scary then...


Cruise.
Up-Down for set/increase decrease, away and toward for cancel and resume.

Limit.
Push knob in until yellow light then up-down for set speed in 5mph increments, away cancel, towards resume and 1mph increments.

Thanks for that, I shall have a go in a minute and see if I can master it!

Looking through the paperwork for the car it had a new wiper motor in August 2008 at over £230 One thing less to worry about I suppose! WHat with all this rain, and I discover it has speed sensitive wipers too! Just keeps bringing me surprises!

Sounds like a cat not a car!
