    Auto box

    Not a problem; just curious. When I select 'L', the box uses only 1st. gear. I thought it should use 1st & 2nd. Anyone know the answer?
    Cheers, Chris.

    It will only use 1st starting off in L, when you get moving push into 3 and back into L and you get second...... whatever you do dont have it in economy whilst in L coz when you slow to around 15mph you will be thrown vioently through the windscreenas the car engages 1st

    Hi, Dave, Has the 'R' got a different gearbox? mine acts exactly like Fraz described.
    Cheers, Chris.
