How sure are you that 'Old Postal Unit' isn't just that the postcode got left out of the update by mistake? It's just that checking the first two CO postcodes in the list, the businesses there still seem to be using the 'old' one on their websites, e.g: https://www.eastofengland.coop/travel/eld-lane-colchester http://www.glynhopkin.com/renault/our-locations/renault-colchester/ Not sure at all, but assuming my coding is OK, what you are really asking is how accurate Code-Point Open is. I've seen some issues in Code-Point Open with obviously wrong locations (that have been correct in previous releases), that I haven't got to the bottom of. I'm not sure how possible it is for a postcode to be accidentally dropped. One (non-OSM-acceptable source) that could be used to check is Royal Mail's postcode finder at http://www.royalmail.com/find-a-postcode . If the postcode isn't found there either then perhaps is really is defunct. People making mistakes on their websites with their own postcodes is more common than you might think. Robert.
