Well i started a bit of a debate there! Thanks for all the help and advice.
Its a 1.9 tdi A4 5 speed and at 70mph Im doing just over 2350 rpm in 5th. The sweet spot of the engine seems to be around 1900 rpm.
It would just feel altogether better with a bigger ratio
(sorry for the dealy in responding as i could not log in on my desk top- just tried it on on lap top and bingo !
Same as 5th in my Avensis 6th drops it back down to 1950.:)"If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....
