Took the D5 for it's Dyno session today at Motorsport Developments Blackpool using their brand new Dyno Dynamics 4wd Rollers. An impressive set up...











It hurts me to post this last one......



As you can see...I would be better off driving a 1.3 cdti Corsa []

I honestly can't understand the figures, the car pulls strong and I feel it's reasonably quick. But not according to the figures []

I understand there are losses through the transmission and the geartronic probably consumes more than the manual version. During the session, they found the geartronic would kickdown from 3rd to 2nd even though it was in 'Manual' mode - so they had to start the run in 4th then letting it kick down to 3rd....

Please be subtle as I'm feeling fragile at the moment knowing that my Berlingo van has more HP.
