I have recently purchased a 2006 vauxhall vivaro sportive ctdi 1,9 deisel.. its seems that when i accelerate in second gear slightly hard it wont go over 28 to 30rpm, it also does simmilar in the 3rd gear about 30rpm...so i have to change gear...is there a limiter on this to protect from over accelerating or is there a fault of some kind.any advice would be appreciated before i take it in to a garage,,it ticks over fine and drives smooth too,thanks..........see my other little problem on steering i have put on .
