HAAAAA very good, no I think my wife would notice

While you're on Andy .... Van runs a treat, idle is a tad lower which is nice!
Is this correct ...
When I start up and it's at idle, when I go to pull away there is no power what so ever ... I dip the clutch blip the revs and then I can carry on as normal ???

This is incorrect info..the PD comes in 100. 115, 130, 150...140...170...and that's just the 4 cylinder options...there also the 3 and 5 potter...
The 170 is a PD...Oh and a 105 in the Transporters...Audi and Seat have some other junk as well...think there is a 180 seat FR lump as well...

Makes for a bit of an anti theft feature... but!
