what ive learnt so far is .. dont put ya foot to the floor when setting off

i think im getting used to it .... might have to go for another drive later on to be sure

Gotcha, not quite like a newer auto box....the economy setting is for normal use, the power setting simply keeps it in gear until higher revs than normal to allow for brisker acceleration (but worse mpg) while the hold setting keeps it in a certain gear for, say, towing a caravan up a long hill.

The newer box has A/T, snow and sport....A/T=normal driving, snow sets it off in second gear, while sport is the equivalent of power on your box.

But with an auto box and only 100bhp don't expect a pocket rocket will you...economy should be fine for normal conditions
