Hmm Den has absolutely nothing like that!! have you tried anything to get round it? i.e changing gear a little higher so you dont drop to 1500rpms?
I have noticed it before but more so yesterday because 1500rpm in top is about 55mph so I was in 4th most of the way home. And before anyone has a dig about doing 55 all day, those tyres on the dolly are from a mini :o I really must get some 6 ply tyres fitted ;D

Is that a couple of roof aerials on that DTi Pete?
It has Z, I think it has been a taxi, although there isn't any evidence of this apart from the aerial at the front. I didn't worry to much about that because its only covered 119,000 miles ;)

Well what a result. I've just received the new MAF sensor I ordered and fitted it to the car and it runs as sweet as a nut. All I have to do now is service it, MOT it and give it a good clean and it will be up for sale. I bought this off Ebay and for once the seller was 100% genuine :y

nice one!!! chip really helps then!! :y
I'm having a spot of bother with the chip, it's got an awful judder at about 1500 rpm which has only started since i've had the chip fitted, but it does make the car more driveable ;)

Same here Pete when I had the chip fitted.
Also I got less MPG not more :-/ so it came out :y

Nice looking DTi, what's it's problem(s)?

Hmmm, this is about the 3rd 427 that suffers this...  :'(

I have the same problem (on a 427), it is funny because after 2 years of it you really don't notice as you end up driving around it.
