Antistall on puma works regardless of throttle input. Antistall on td5 turns off when throttle is pressed. Cheers James 110 2012 XS Utility 130 2011 M57 bespoke Camper 90 2010 Hardtop 90 M57 1988 Hardtop |

When I first got my car, I did an introductory off road day with Protrax. The instructor, Ed Cobley, knows the Puma's system inside out and had me using antistall, tc, left foot braking and the idle jack to great effect. Once you know how it all works and why it's there they are a great asset in my opinion.
The Protrax day is very cheap for what it is and would recommend it any Puma owner looking t understand how it all works off road. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS |

Can I ask how you know this, because it certainly doesn't appear to be the case on my '07 2.4? There is a very significant difference in behaviour between zero throttle and even the slightest throttle input, and it is relatively easy to stall the engine when throttle input is present. It is my belief that the engine is effectively governed to maintain a constant idle speed with zero pedal input but this effect is disabled, or at least minimised, to prevent the very odd driving characteristics which it would cause under normal conditions. |
