Yeah Kia I think its acting normal, mine too feels quicker when in "1". I think maybe the autobox decides what gear to pull away in after you've begun to depress the accelerator. If you press it lightly, it pulls away in 2nd, if you floor it - 1st. I guess that would explain why it feels quicker when in 1 - it doesnt have to decide. The power seems there sooner. Pete

Agreed - nice one mods :rolleyes: :(

:rolleyes: Dont go all serious on us Nige :p

I hate these hoax e-mail warnings, but this one is important. Send this warning to everyone on your e-mail list. If a man dressed as a doctor comes to your front door and says he is conducting a survey and asks you to show him your c0ck, DO NOT show him your c0ck. This is a scam; he only wants to see your c0ck. I wish I'd got this email yesterday. I feel so stupid and cheap. :(

Fook off! You can have it - I aint picking it up! :eek:

;)

Randy Ryan - this thread's for you ;):D:D

Yeah yeah lol, you can keep your notchy gearchanges :p;)

LOL Alex :D - here's my reply to you on the same question ;) from my for sale thread: The autobox has 4 gears plus overdrive - the techies will tell you exactly how many ratios there are, somethig like 8, or do a search The switches: Rocker switch - Power/Normal/Hold Power tells the box to shift later, and does not change back up as willingly, ready for the next acceleration "Power" is activated automatically when you stab the throttle, or push all the way down. Normal is the usual setting Hold is for winter driving, pulls away in 2nd gear and changes up to higher gears sooner. On the shifter there is an overdrive switch, this is "on" normally, when "off" the revs rise about 2,000rpm and the car becomes more responsive - like sitting at higher revs in a manual I guess. There are dashboard lights telling you if you have Power or Hold on, or Overdrive off. 1 and 2 can be selected manually, I tend to use 1 when I need the engine braking eg in traffic, so you dont have to keep stabbing the brakes. Other than that I dont really use them. The thrill of a kick down from 4 - 2 or 3 - 1 is awesome - something manuals dont really have, as the gearchange is sudden and really boots you in the back, power delivery is then smooth up through the gears, you really cant feel it changing, other than the engine note. If you want to come and have spin and a look drop me a PM, also I'll be at Thor on the RR day on Saturday, and Santa Pod on Sunday if you wanna meet up? The car doesnt usually get this sort use lol Cheers Pete ;)

Not like manual clutches then? :p Autoboxes can take more BHP than manuals through them

They handed the money over and when he left they noticed he's written it on the back of a envelope - addressed to him :D:D He was nabbed at home with the money!! :rofl: Another one of his stories involoves a bloke getting away with £thousands by taking a live goose into a bank and threatening to wring its neck :eek: unless they handed over the money - and they DID hand it over!!!
