Have called dealer as car is less than 1y old, while waiting to take in was wondering if anyone has experienced similar?

It's the v6td engine and occasionally loses throttle power for a few seconds when recently turned on and when accelerating out of a corner

'They all do that sir' I think is the response you'll get. They can be very lazy away from a junction. More to do with the gearbox I think. Try using the manual shifters for the same change and see if it make a difference.

Well... Always hard to diagnose over the internet but it could be loss of grip!!

If the DSC is detecting slip, it can back off the throttle for you. Remeber, the D4 is circa 2.7t and not a sports car. wink
