Rosie Member 361 Member For: 19y 5m 12d Posted 14/02/12 05:27 AM Posted 14/02/12 05:27 AM Recently purchased a 2011 Territory Diesel.The only thing I don't like about it is it has a significant flat spot from a standing start.I am aware it has Fly by Wire Throttle, but this is what I would call dangerous in the wrong Hands,Has anyone else had the problem and found a definite fix, or is it a combination of the Diesel characteristics and the Throttle setup?- Meaning I'm stuck with it!

CSP Member 89 Member For: 19y 4m 21d Posted 14/02/12 02:24 PM Posted 14/02/12 02:24 PM Definitely a diesel thing. I've been trying to reduce it in our 2012 Titanium by trying it in Performace mode etc. If left in D, I think it tends to take off in 2nd, push the stick over to Sport mode, put it into 1st and see if it improves response. It seems to for me, but it really isn't that big of an issue for me. You get used it.I believe Herrod are working on a tune that will potentially get rid of it and also increase overall power/torque a fair bit.
xrlook Member 153 Member For: 18y 1m 30d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 14/02/12 04:20 PM Posted 14/02/12 04:20 PM that's how the ford diesel is. But I believe that a tune will eliminate that problem flat spot by bringing the talk sooner in the rev range. The Magazines brought up that problem in the test and they said it works better in manual mode:(

I have been trying to avoid the Herrod thing, but looks like I will have to go down that Path when it happens.It's not the end of the World, but it is annoying the way it is.I already have a reasonably quick BA and I bought this, with Towpack, to tow the BA to Tracks like Philip Island, etc.Thanks for the advice on the Territory Boys!
