Hmmmm, well it's a bit different, but I've only done a handful of short runs (1 to 3 miles).
Once moving it seems as normal, but:
Starting is different, less "instant" and in one case (when warm) took a few seconds to catch. What are other people's D2's like to start?
I've noticed one possible brief "higher revs but sluggish progress" event after pulling out at a T-junction when the car was warmish from earlier use but had only been driven about 200 yards that time.
Starting, after I changed the coolant temperature sensor, was always quick and "violent" with a short burst of high revs (over 1500rpm) before quickly setlling down to idle.
Now it takes a bit longer but just goes straight to normal idle speed after a tiny initial blip at maybe 1000rpm.
Maybe fuel pressure was too high before and isn't high enough now? But "on the road" it's as responsive as ever - I had a little "play" this morning to check.
