Unless you accelerate very gently up to 50mph, that sounds pretty normal. If you are observing a 30mph limit it should shift to 4th but not lock up.

Mine's an oil burner.
I'm rarely under 2k when accelerating; nice having torque!

Mine very rarely uses 4th, it goes from third into tc. Mostly country roads so it's constantly on the go. It does have 4th gear, it got used in England in the traaaaaaafffffiiiiiic....... Here, 80kph or bust.... Err 80ish kph...

It has to be around 84kph or it jumps up and down through the box... Bloody new speed limit, they'll soon réalise that making crap and dangerous drivers go slower doesn't stop them being crap and dangerous

Accidents have actually increased since the 80kph limit came in despite a mild winter. Many departments are reverting to 90kph so it's very confusing at the moment.It has to be around 84kph or it jumps up and down through the box...

You do not have a choice, no one is allowed in or out of France at the moment, we have to print off a government and carry with us form and tick the appropriate box as to the reason we are away from the house. Failure to comply results in a fine. Total lock down

I've already downloaded the form and uploaded it to the Coronavirus thread. As you say, we would not have a box to tick. The wifey is unliveable with so got her drunk at lunchtime and she is currently asleep in front of reruns of Bargain Hunt. FFS she does not do being philosophical about stuff. Trouble is, she now will not go along with any of the normal ways of shopping when self-isolated, apparently her daughter "can't shop" and any supermarket that delivers will substitute everything it doen't nick or break, like biscuits. Then she decides to put me in charge of it all.You do not have a choice, no one is allowed in or out of France at the moment, we have to print off a government and carry with us form and tick the appropriate box as to the reason we are away from the house.

Be aware that if the box isn't slipping putting lucas in it might cause hard/harsh shifts..

Better than this..
