No really I am excited as it's an excuse to book the car in and request a full software update including the gearbox software update!
Latest post on the other thread bodes well...

On this note I assume the frost etc got at the GPS antenna as it is convinced the car is about 5 miles away from where it is. Quite amusing watching it try and figure out how we are driving across fields, golf courses etc

Wait for a sunny day with no rain or mist, and turn the car on for 15min, in a location with no immediate buildings or trees around you. This will help the GPS to reacquire the satellites and calculate a new position.

The less you move, the faster the acquisition.
