Re: Minor Niggles With my Pulsar

Stop/Start activation seems to be pretty random anyway. I take my wife to work each morning, always using the same route, and the point at which the Stop/Start kicks in varies greatly. I've had days where it has not kicked in at all, and others where it's kicked in within a few hundred yards of home...

Re: New owner from Portugal

Yes, it's as if the engine hasn't fired up fully by the time I've released the clutch. I haven't had a problem with stalling the car when pulling away since I was learning to drive, and that was in the early '70s!

Re: Stop/Start Fault

Yes I know about the switch, but I'd just like to disable it permanently as it's not much use in my opinion. Having to set the switch every time you start the engine is irritating.

Re: Stop/Start Fault

I would be happy if Stop/Start just wasn't there at all. To use one of my mother's expressions "It's neither use nor ornament". Stop at lights and the engine stops - for all of 30 seconds then it burst back into life without the car moving or me touching any of the pedals. In slow moving, ...

Re: New owner from Portugal

Issues with the Stop/Start system seem to be a recurring theme. I've had a couple of instances where the car has stalled as I've pulled away from traffic lights after the Stop/Start has activated. I'm not sure yet whether the problem was me or the car.

Re: Minor Niggles With my Pulsar

I agree with Guppy's comment about power drop off. I'm still struggling to get used to making sure I'm in the right gear to pull away. On any previous car, being in 2nd when you should be in 1st, or 3rd when you should be in 2nd wouldn't be a problem, I'd just give it a bit more welly. It is with th...

Re: DAB Radio Retuning

I presume the search must be automatic. I occasionally get a display indicating additional channels (or something like that)

Re: Petrol Gauge Reading

When I picked the car up new it had a full tank and showed a range of about 440 miles. Current fuel consumption is mid to high 30s (mainly short journeys in town) and a full tank gives an estimated range of around 330. That would tend to support the 46 litre (10 gallon tank assumption).
