Hi, Mine does this and its even worse when your off road climbing over rocks or through mud when you need to give it some throttle and then back off immediatley - almoast ran into the back of a TD5 some time ago as I was coming out of some boggy stuff and onto a decent bit of track when she took off on me Think I will have my dealer look at this but I dont expect much of an ansewr Pete, if your watching, do you have any thing to say about this Russell. |

Yes I know what you mean Russell, on steep hill climbs it can be very unnerving Did some rocks in Spain about 13 mths ago and found it very hard to get used to. Have also nearly run into back of other cars while in traffic a few times I wish I could get rid of it! Boy |

I have felt the same thing in my testing, i recon its partly the VNT actuation been slighlty slower than your foot,and partly in the mapping to keep the gear change and driveability smooth.
I did notice this when i was doing the first mapping and it took me some time to get used to i must admit. These is sometimes a simlar feeling on the TD5's and disconnecting the clutch switch seemed to help with the throttle shut off but only when you were changing gear.

If I take my foot off at 1800 rpm it will carry on until about 2400rpm until it starts drop off
I would be very interested to see if there is a dealer fix????????? Boy |

Thanks Pete, I got all excited there didn't I? TBH I have all but given up on it anyway.
Do all Defenders do it? The dealers made me drive another one to prove to me that all defenders do it (though it was not as bad as mine). I just can't believe that they make a vehicle that when you take your foot off the throttle it still gets fuel and is still accelorating! Maybe I am jsut getting old and not willing to take on new ideas? |

April 08 build and mine does not do this.
I've had a few 'fly by wire' cars now including a mkV golf gti which do have a different 'feeling' to good old fashioned cables, however my car does nothing like you are describing. Hope this helps. Stornoway Grey 90 XS Focus C-Max Tdci Kawasaki ZX6R C6f |

Thanks Dave, this is jsut getting better and better! I am soon to have a engineer down from Lodge Lane to inspect my vehicle and it is helpful to know that other TDCi's don't do it. Over the last 10 months it has been a constant battle with the dealers and they have jsut sticking to the story that they all do it. At one point I went to Hartwells at N/ton (not by choice) they were very rude and said among other thing it was my driving style and it was a reflection on my age that I did not understand modern engines!!!!!!!! (I,m 44) . My 110 does it all the time but worse when cold. I really to appreciate the feedback I am getting here guys . It took them 3 weeks to fit a fuel pump which just about says it all. With this engineer coming down I am kecking myself that it wil be another white wash and them just coming up with loads of excuses why I have all these faults. Teh engine now knocks and is runing very rough, this has only started since when it made one morning a horrible noise which sounded like the engine was going to destory itself. The vehicle then stopped dead and I had to be recovered. This happened four time since and like i have just said it has been noisy and rough since! Thanks for all your help. Boy |
