I've heard the red trees work like nos if you flick them as you pull away.
Erm, this golf and the previous one used to happily keep a constant speed uphill in 6th, obviously its not gonna pull away quick like that although it would slowly gain speed, but atm this one loses speed, and as a result the cruise drops out as the engine doesnt have enough power to keep it going. And as for 6th being motorway...lol, I spend all day in 6th from 35mph upwards.....
