    I'm from just the other side of Alsager if you know the area. It's a really nice motor, if only I didn't need the room in my Avant I'd consider it.

    MMI SAT NAV

    I have the 3g version and it doesn't do full postcode. What you do is enter the full 1st part of the postcode (ws11) for example and then the 1st number of the 2nd part.
