    Hey LoveB, I know you've gone with the switch shorting method, but what do you think about this post by Wally, worth a try?

    Cheers

    Yeah, I'm going to look into it too, we're a da429, will update here if anything comes of it.

    Edit: Found the Tech Bulletin here: http://www.landrovertechinfo.com/top...&cat=BULLETINS "LTB00448v5 - Hesitation/Flat Spot During Gear Change", can't read it without a subscription though

    My 2010 did not have the rev problem on gear change however it was slow at responding to the right foot...my 2013 on the other hand holds the revs when you change gears which really annoys me but I'm not sure if I have missed something in this thread but is there a simple fix for this on the 2.2 ?

    Check the link above. if yours falls under the VIN range updating the PCM gets rid of the lag on the throttle.

    The holding of revs you can disable by looping the clutch switch but I found it does have its uses. makes city driving easy. with it disabled it gets jerky as the revs drop instantly

    Bridged the clutch sensor switch worked a treat

    Randomly my 2011 130 started to hold revs - I eventually found the culprit. A blown stop light fuse. Car behaves normally when fuse is intact - remove it and it holds the revs when clutch is engaged. Some sort of warning system?!?

I recall that on my Td5 (now long gone) I was able to disable it by disconnecting a wire. On the Puma there are some wires connected to the clutch master cylinder. If I disconnect those will it make it go away?
    What happened to your Td5? Where did it go?

    I have a brand new 90 which has about 2300 km on it now. I have not noticed the flaring at all, maybe they've updated everything. I'd be happy for anyone to drive mine as a comparison. North side Brisbane
