2.7 TDV6 - Pause a while then go

It isn't severe enough to cause an accident if you understand the vehicle you're driving and adapt to its characteristics.

This is very reminiscent of my 1st TD5 D2 where I was told over and over that it was normal after a multitude of road tests during the warranty period. Eventually I replaced the MAF at my expense after trying one from a used vehicle on the dealer's lot.

Yes and I knew it as soon as I started the engine then confirmed when I went to take-off with the swapped sensor. I was heading off on a 2K journey that afternoon but the dealer wouldn't allow me to keep the swap even for a couple of days. At the time I didn't know about non-LR suppliers so paid the full retail price when it should have been replaced under warranty during the preceding 2 years / 50K kms.

garry My D4 does the same thing. If Im in a hurry around town with allot of stop start I use command shift. I know its not ideal or a permanent fix but at least the option is there.
I dont like the lag either but I am also a "manual" lover and auto boxes typically drive me crazy at the best of times.

I do agree it can be dangerous when coming up to round-about or the like where you typically get of the throttle to slow up a bit then hit it again with no response for a second.

I've also found I dont seem to be heavy footed enough for the throttle/software they use. Seems where a more immediate and liner power application would happen in a manual in the D4 I have to virtually floor it to the floor with the auto initially.

just some thoughts/musings.
