Hijack away mate all useful information. Seems like a good forum to be part of very helpful bunch. |

I complained of the same thing and was told they had done a software update that had fixed this but I haven't noticed any difference.

I guess the dealer should know what the gearbox needs, but once I got home and scanned the RRS again I was surprised to see this GSM-Gear Shift still indicating an update available. It sounds worth updating, but possibly nothing to do with it, I was thinking of using the GAP Fast-Lane Service to give it a try - anybody know anything about this and could it improve the gear change hesitancy?

The delay you talk off is also called Turbo Lag. |

But the SDV6 is supposed to have sequential turbo's, should this not prevent such a severe lag? I understand it, but it doesn't make sense to me. The delay is more like I had with my XF when the car had cut out on Stop/Start, that second delay to restart when there was absolutely no power at all - the RRS does exactly the same but the engine is still running. I've experienced turbo lag with my Defender TD5, which you can hear/feel the engine trying to provide power, then the turbo catches up and your away.

It's more to do with the gearbox not selecting first gear if you don't actually stop at junctions rather than turbo lag. If you keep rolling and then try to pull away the gearbox is in second gear. If you try to pull away a little bit quicker from rolling the gearbox shifts down to first and there is a delay as the gearbox downshifts before you feel the power applied again and then you set off like the proverbial scalded cat.

That sounds like it, but I notice it more when taking off at standstill. T junction, trying pulling out into main traffic flow when you spot a space and go for it...then the space has as good as passed when the full power comes on but you catapult out anyway much to the annoyance of every other driver!

Just be thankful you have 4x4, and when the power comes in you don't wheel spin!

I just sold my bow 535d e60 and started off looking at Audi A6 bitdi, then f10 535d but then I somehow started looking at 530d. after much searching, I think I want the RRS now. I had the 2.7 tdv6 MY2006 and just remembered how great the ride quality was.
