Not many about I have to admit.... I've only ever seen 1 other on the road, and that was an ST parked up at Alton Towers Hotel!

Bit of an update.....
Drove down to Devon yesterday, via Cardiff, and managed to get a very respectable 49.1mpg averaging 75mph on the motorway
The boot is actually alot bigger than the Altea's, as I managed to get everything in the boot without having to dismantle the baby-buggy, which I used to have to do with the Altea.
Another bonus I found yesterday, is that the front passenger's seat has got Isofix This meant that we could put my daughter in the front, as she could then see Em when she sat behind her, which meant that she was alot more chilled out and Em was able to entertain her when she got a bit grouchy (and yes I did turn the passenger's air bag off)
The car is a pleasure to drive on a long distance, with no back-ache etc when I eventually got to Devon. I've been playing around with the driving position trying to find the 'best' setup, without smashing my left knee on the centre console every time I press the clutch

Hi andy
Been looking into your service.
It looks like they didn't put the car's onto long life until build week 22 and then all car's from that point were put onto long life from factory.
I looked when your car was built and it is a build week 7 car so its before the car's went onto the long life service
I have asked service to look if it can be changed but nothing has come back
sorry for the delay

Thanks for the info Daryll, much appreciated.
If you can keep me posted on the Long Life Servicing that would be good. It was one of the main selling points for the Mrs.
Thanks,

Just another minor update on my Exeo....
Headed down to Devon for the weekend to see the parents, a round trip of about 500miles, and managed a healthy 52.4mpg on the motorways with the cruise control set at about ~80 for most of the way

Spent 3 hours on Saturday morning cleaning the car, consisting of the following:
1. Wash with microfibre mitt (2 bucket method) after initially hosing off the car
2. Clay-bar the car to remove all inbedded particles and tar spots
3. Re-wash to remove all clay residue
4. Apply Harly Wax and buff off
5. Wash and scrub tyres and arch liners, with a 10:1 solution of Tesco's Daisy all-pupose cleaner
6. Clean alloys with Simoniz alloy wheel cleaner
7. Dress tyres and all black trim with Meg's Tech Protect
8. Dress alloys with Poor-boys Wheel Sealant (excellent stuff)
9. Polish all glass (inside and out) with Autoglym Glass Polish
10. Hover and clean inside with a microfibre cloth
Think that's about it....
Also debadge the boot and wings, by using dental-floss to remove the badge, and then Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover to get rid of the sticky stuff.
Will try and get some pics tomorrow (not had chance today)

Nah, I've been out enjoying the sunshie all weekend with the family
Forgot my camera today, so you'll have to make-do with some crappy phone pics at lunchtime !!
Mine regularly shows 700+ miles left in the tank after filling up and driving a few miles, but I've only managed 610!
Pics as promised....

Excuse the crap quality, that's the one thing that's not so good about my HTC Magic phone !!!
