Is this dependant on some other factors/conditions being true, as IIRC in the Astra and Merc 325 handbooks it mentioned something about a regen light would come on if x/y/z are met and that point it advised to maintain a constant speed until the regen was complete?

I am always on the motorway daily (doing 1,000 miles a week and never saw this happen on its own) so I just did what I mentioned in my previous post. Upon doing that, the mpg went back up accordingl to the onboard computer, car felt fractionally perkier and smoother.
