Thanks yeah that article describes it pretty accurately - must be the clutch plate... Sounds exy... Will call a few places...
Until the evidence is in I reckon it's might, not must. That is, maybe the clutches (plural).
Hope you get it fixed!

As for S or M mode, I've never used it except to see if it works,
roundabouts included. I just press the accelerator to a certain point which I know from experience will give the desired acceleration, eventually.
It seems easier to let the ROBOT decide when to change gear.

Ta for the interesting link Mondaveo! I Robot is a great movie if you haven't seen it. AFAIK, IMHO, etc etc.

Mr Badger's video isn't really up to standard though, much better following my DIY instructions with the soon to be updated details.
