Im quite enjoying the ride...except when I find its chugging cos I've forgotton to change down

Smooth, quick enough when pressed.  Im quietly suprised actually.

Mark will give a better picture im sure, as hw has driven one a lot further than I have, and is considerably more skilled in doing so!

It should still pull well from 1500rpm so your really letting it get bogged down.

The key thing to do is clean the EGR well, the manifold pressure sensor and the throttle body (yes, despite being a diesel it has a throttle butterfly).

i do like the zafria, looks like i might need one as well soon,what is the 6 speed like as i was looking at a 1.9 auto diesel and it didnt drive too nicely at all

Six speed is fine as long as you dont chip it, its worth doing 60K gearbox oil changes though.

Never had to many issues with the auto, pretty smooth and precise (but a higher road tax bracket), maybe a fluid change is required.

The diesels output a lot of torque with the 16V 1.9 giving 320-340 Nm at around 2100rpm (and much more if chipped) so you do have to look after your gearbox.
