Hi Paul,
Bury to CHester however starts along the M66, goes straight through
junction 18 to the next junction where you go all the way round the
roundabout, come back on yourself to junction 18 and then turn left onto
the M60 where the route is then as expected.This odd behaviour then
continues if routing to places further afield that require the same
initial route.

shows the junctions involved but I can't see how it can be data errors
as some routes go M66, M62 westbound without problem and all 3
destinations mentioned above are on the same tile
Can't explain why
you're seeing badness there.
I might.
If Paul used XAPI to extract a part of the country in order to build his
Garmin map then it's possible that his XAPI excerpt isn't complete. I've
been seeing more and more of this happening in South Wales where I'm
doing exactly that.
It seems (from other comments here) that there's a known problem with
the various XAPI servers occasionally dropping a minute-diff and never
recovering. I've seen this happening since the switch to the 0.6 API: I
had never noticed it before that.
I've been sent on bogus routes around Swansea (my home town) due to
small bits of roads going missing. I've got a partially missing
westbound carriageway on a dual carriageway in one particular case, I've
also spotted a missing urban one-way street and a few other cases.
If Paul looks carefully, does he spot (on the Garmin) a missing
slip-road on a roundabout, responsible for there being no valid route
from one side of a dual carriageway? Worse is an apparently present
slip-road on a dual carriageway where the 'oneway' once pointed the
wrong way, but has been fixed on OSM at some point, but where the fix
was part of a minute-diff that the XAPI server dropped?
