Changing the gearbox oil and resetting the counter on vida is supposed to help with gear changes and getaway power. I've bought all the stuff to do it myself this weekend so I'll update how it goes.

I notice the sluggishness you speak of myself, noticeably when wanting to pull out from a street or junction quickly. It's like there's a delay between me pressing the pedal and the car moving lol.

However, when held on the foot brake I believe the gearbox drops in to neutral to prevent wear and only re-engages drive when your foot comes off the pedal. So this could be the cause of the lag. I try to anticipate when I can pull away and have the brake off and feather the throttle and this has been helping a lot.

Failing the gearbox oil change making any difference I'll probably look at getting it remapped too. I'm sure a few extra MPG's would be very useful these days also!
