jumping out of gear
New (to me), 2009 159 1.9 jtdm 16v sw.
Jumps out of 2nd when trundling up to junctions/roundabouts. Other gears OK. Still under warranty for a year from the garage I bought it from last week, so not really a big problem, but any ideas from the experts in here before I take it in. Another point - ties in with what Jim said last week: I seem to be getting around 40mph from it - is this right? From a 1.9 diesel? No more cost effective than my 9 year old 156 petrol 2.0 JTS. GT |

No, it should deffo be faster than that! ;^) My 156 1.9jtd gives about 10 miles per litre. On a related note - mine was vibrating at between 60 & 70mph. It needed a couple of tyres, (front right & rear left) so got 2 new ones - onto the front, the vibration still there but shifted up to 65 - 75mph Took it back and had the tracking and balance checked - both very slightly out - but the vibes are still there - if a little less severe. -- Rob Pearson 156 1.9jtd sportwagon (now) 164 V6 Lusso (gone) 147 2.0TS lusso (Hers) |

Maybe I meant in 2nd gear - the 2.0JTS did about 65mph in second. |

Sorry. Have you seen how much the tyres are yet?? That used to set my pulse racing!

Cheapest I can find online are £68.50 each (not ZR) for the 225/50/17. My local garage have always been very good for tyres - about half the price of the fast fit centres so I will probably use them. I used to get firestones on my 156 for about £55 each from them. |
