PM BBS Guy, he's quite approachable.

Put your name on the list as well. (under Group Buys).

(hopefully people are smart enough to keep quoting forward so this list is larger with each quote).

Is the Auto kicking down a gear when the revs get low going up the hill or is it holding top gear?

Yes it is...

Hmmmm, ok what about tyres?
Do you have standard size or bigger rolling diameter?

Standard tyres..

Hi mate - had an almost identical issue on my td5. It was behaving like a dog off-road. No power when you needed it the most.

Ended up being the wastegate actuator was seized and wasn’t opening/releasing the wastegate.

What was happening was that the turbo would overboost and something would detect it and then throttle back the engine. I only discovered this after installing a boost gauge and saw it was hitting something like 21psi+ of boost (my memory is hazy about the numbers) and then the power crashed.

Replaced it and hey presto - back to normal.

I can’t recall how the wastegate operates, But maybe the shortened rod on the wastegate actuator results in the wastegate not releasing the pressure early enough and the unit goes into over boost...
