My D3 was like this - doesn't seem the same on any of the D4's I've driven though

Checked mine today. Switch was on. Massive kick in the back when tested and red lined almost immediately. Happy Days

Just checked my D3 and the switch was in the off position. Oddly enough I never use the kickdown but I decided to try it yesterday morning and felt the car was slow to respond. Will be interesting to see how it goes now that the switch is on
