if you want to pull away in second, press the snowflake button next to the gear selector

Hi Phil

Don't quite understand this-sounds like you have winter function on-press the snowflake on left of gearstick to turn it off

Its the other way around, it sounds like he WANTS to pull away in second, hence going for a manual which gives more control.

If you have an auto and want to pull away in second, press S button to let it rev higher, and snowflake, foot on brake, give it revs, when you want to go take your foot off the brake!

Depends how thick it is? When camping i got stuck in the mud, had to use second to pull away (i have a manual), once rolling back end was having some fun  8-)

  i am going to have so much fun with my miggy, last thing i had with rear wheel drive was my 3.2 v6 trooper (that was fun in the wet) it was running 250bhp and had 33"x12.50 15" tyres MT`s only other car apart from that was my gsi carlton hmmm the good old days

I think there's a 'How to' in the maintenance guides, for swapping an auto for a manual .

...for any particular reason P?

tbh i now prefer auto to manual, my trooper was manual and was a night mare on long steep hills offroading, my mates rangie with its auto box made it a lot easier
