The problem with threads like is they cross different models and modus operandi. Some start in 1st, some in second...no one is wrong...just different boxes.

Mine is c or s..it stays in c cos otherwise the gearbox is all over the place changing unnecessarily. Change to s for a razz up some country roads and its still poor

Maybe the 7 speed box is better.

It ain't, I couldn't drive that thing I used to have in S mode as it would lurch between 6th and 7th like an indecisive toddler in a toy shop.

In C mode progress was mire assured and relaxed.

The present car I drive in S mode. The gears are better spaced so it decides which one it wants and sticks to it...

Ps for a raz up a black road, use rfe manual override. Select gear 3 and accelerate brake and steer. The car will have sufficient engine braking and be revving hard enough to make a good power output.

Apologies for going off topic but I see you are in Reading David. Can you recommend a indie specialist in the area? I would have PM'd you but I can't see a way of doing that.

'Star Motor Services' (a small indie) is an authorised forum supporter on here.

I've not used them, as I do my own stuff, but they do seem to get good
feedback.
