Hi Guys,
I need to do the same mod to mine for the same reasons - kids can't sleep in the back! |

Hi Folks,
Has anyone tried to adjust/modify their folding rear seats (2nd row in a 90, 3rd row in a 110) to make the seat backs less upright?
It's a constant gripe from my kids, especially on la ... |

Next mod on the wish list for my new 90 is to fit some after market rims and chunkier rubber.
I can get the Zu Alloys out here in Oz and quite fancy them in black/white to keep going with the monoc ... |

Quick update,
I think I finally have it sussed. To avoid the dreaded rev-hang related transmission clunk thing it's less about what revs you're doing when you change down, it's actually more impor ... |

Yes all above board the company 'Tint-a-Car' (original!) market it as their 'Darkest Legal Tint'
It's quite a novelty as it contains some kind of metallic element to block out/reflect heat and UV r ... |

Aye,
You'd have to be a class 1 nutter to own a black car out here, the air con struggles even in a white car when it's 45 degrees outside.
I'd never have considered a white Landy back in Blight ... |

Just got my windows tinted
It's a basic necessity here if you want some relief from the baking Aussie sun, but I'm not sure if it would score a bit high on the pimped scale!

Just for a bit of variety, mine measures 2.02 at the highest point (rear edge of roofline).
This was the clincher for buying the new 90 as I'd previously been looking at 110's which measured 2.06 a ... |

Gus, it would seem from your findings that 4th/5th gear doing 80kmh is where you want to be and not in 6th ? 6th is to high for that speed.

So what's a good cruising rpm for the 2.2 TDCI en ... |

Hi Pete,
I just corrected my last post, realised I was out by a gear 4=5 etc 
I think 2500rpm in 5th equates to roughly 90kph or 55mph, haven't hit 2500rpm in 6th yet!

Hi Folks,
Well I've had the new 90 for a week now and I'm just about clonk-free accelerating through the gears (the 3000 RPM rule is the simplest) but there is still one scenario that has me jigger ... |

Thanks guys this is all good stuff.
I'm getting less clonky with practice but what a pain in the chuff to have to work around an obvious design flaw in a brand new piece of kit!
