Ah so now I'm not not only driving it wrong I'm not a good driver.
So as I'm not a good driver I'm not allowed to dislike having to rev the tits off it to not pull away at a crawl and change umpteen times more often?
Well you made the statement that "all diesels" had that problem, whereby there was zero power between tickover and 1500rpm, to the point of making it almost undriveably for you.So as I'm not a good driver I'm not allowed to dislike having to rev the tits off it to not pull away at a crawl and change umpteen times more often?
As this has NEVER happened to me and i've driven a load of diesels and petrols whilst motor trading, and noone else on here is report this "major problem" i can only assume EITHER there was a serious fault with the cars you drove OR you were driving it wrong OR you were unable to adjust to the power delivery?
Take you pick.
I've no doubt that owners drive round it and don't notice it (change more often than you would on a petrol car and keep the revs up) but it is so nice to get back into a (petrol) car with some low down torque and not have to worry about falling off the torque cliff and floundering in the sea of gutlessness.

Maybe you could get together and form a self help group?

Dirty, foul smelling vehicles. Surely just a matter of time before a "pollution tax" is brought in? Oh and when you all move over to leccy cars they will obviously tax the electricity

Oh aye. The motorist is an easy target. They get billions from us in revenue, so once the fuel source moves, so will the tax.TX.
Of course, they'll call it a "green" tax to make us feel a bit better when they're raping us.
