Acceleration woes.

[strange_rover1]

Hello all,

Just a nightly little issue that is annoying me. I've had the deefer for a couple of weeks now and most things are great, except every now and then when I change gears the revs don't drop off when I take my foot off the peddle? Anyone got any ideas on what could cause this? Or more importantly how to fix it?

If its a new one they all do it, don't know why ,but theres loads of stuff on here about it. You get used to it .

I found it goes away after a while

I probably wouldn't mind so much if it did it all the time and it was supposed to do it but it is an intermittent thing that is annoying. Oh well I'll just have to get used to it.

There's an ECU patch you can get from the dealer to stop it, it's in a thread here somewhere: "intermittent revvy thing" or something like that is the title and it has the bulletin number from LR.

As the others advised though, I'd just get used to it and adapt your style if you can. It's a "feature" as they say.

If the revs don't drop off at all it might be worth checking your brake light ae working. There is a switch on the clutch that tells the ecu when you ae changing gears. This is powered by the brake light circuit. If the brake light power is out then you may get this flaring throttle issue.
