I now have done 5000k in the Tuna now and have a couple of questions that I wouldn't mind throwing out there:
1. If you move the automatic from drive mode over to sports-shift mode it drops a gear down immediately you move it over to sports shift. My last car would not do this, it would just flash up the current gear it was in and wait for instructions to move up or down a gear from that point. In a way the old car let me "prepare" to shift up or down by having it in the sports shift mode ready and waiting. In the Tuna, I now have to wait until I need the lower gear before i shift to sports mode (semi manual) Seems a bit weird ?
2. When coasting into a T intersection at lowish speeds (on the flat or down a hill) and then turning and getting back on the accelerator it seems to go into a sort of "neutral" gear before dropping into first, revving up and lurching away. A new Hilux driver here at work agrees that his does this too. Any ideas? It could easily turn these types of corners in second gear without missing a beat and that seems to me what it should do. Am i right here? Anyone else notice this/
3. And most importantly - I cant seem to get Double J on the DAB radio despite doing a rescan - Anyone have any other ideas? Double J is an ABC radio station so should be nationwide but I just can't find it.
Thanks everyone - over to you..
