Thanks Ron

All noted!

I drive an auto and the only way I can get the revs up quick is to do the 'kickdown' I have not yet tried it with auto off, but will do so and see what happens. Unless it is advisable not to.

I have had two MG tf's with the paddle gears 6 of them on the steering wheel and in those instances it was quite easy to redline and change down for acceleration in getting up the speed for overtaking. If I remember how I did that, then I could use the same technique with the diesel...I think. But I will not know until I try this out over the weekend. In those days I was not the gentle driver I am today and only had one HGF go. It was replaced in the days of the Rover no quibble warranty. Happy days.

Thanks

Phil
