Hi Norman,

Did you drive the car? 4th at 30, it must be labouring badly. I stuck a petrol valve block on one of my 2.1 auto boxes, and it changed into 4th at 40mph, and the car was labouring a fair bit then; I think 45 would be a good compromise.

Interesting all the same.

If it's in 4th at 30mph it will only do about 90mph tops.

I suspect it has the wrong differential ratio and can't understand it being from new, it wasn't an option.

Yes you are right it wasn't a option, he took it back to citroen and said it wasn't "fit for purpose" and citroen arranged with ZF to fit a different ratio gearbox.
