Hi Dan, welcome to the forum. What car are you used to? The 75 is a big old bus and the 1.8 does have to be worked quite hard, it is quite happy cruising at motorway speeds. I have the 1.8turbo and it goes like thunderbird 3.

Sounds about right, mine struggles up hill when I have passengers on board, fine on flat roads and motorways though, you get used to it in the end and it's not a problem |

Only if the A/C is on, if it is on when the A/C is off there is a problem.

Press ECON, that just switches the A/C compressor off and the fan too, if functioning correctly.

You will probably find the car has more power available with the A/C off. It will use less fuel too.
