    Might be overcome now, but chipping used to make the low range surging worse. There were a lot of UK posts about it. I had to take mine back to Bruce Davis to sort it out - he just uploaded his mlider upgrade. Much more drivable on & off road.

    i have discussed this with Mike (Tombraider) and he seems to think that the TD5 should have dual accelerator mapping which is sensitive in high range and not sensitive in low (to minimise the effect of bumps) (so you have to move your foot a long way to get it to accelerate) this was also a feature listed on a feature list on the td5

    however, there were reports of surging with the engine so the fix was to reverse that accelerator mapping so the sensitive was on low range and the non sensitive was on the high...

    mine is mapped the 'fixed way' which to me is backwards... and stupid.. and causes the of the original poster here... however it depends on which one you get... some are right... some are reversed... i do wish mine was right... i seem to recall tombraider saying he may have a look....

    Thanks

    Steve

    I had this problem but It was the 3500rpm torque converter meaning I had all or nothing! Took weeks to learn how to drive it in traffic and next to impossible on sand. It still likes to power surge but with the more normal torque converter it is possible to drive smoothly.
