Switching sides - DC2R over to Euro. Wise?

[Neesmo31]

Okay, after a bit of driving under my belt, a couple of issues are raised with the euro.

Jerky throttle at crawling speeds (even without throttle application) it tends to jump up in the revs and jerk you around in the car.
Very low rpms cruising around at say 60, its like chugging away at 1200rpm.

I have done a bit of research and this appears to be standard euro traits. Alot of people have the same problems with the FBW throttle (well not problems just issues) and the low ratios of the gearbox.

Should i be worried about these things?? Or just get used to them?? My car is in great condition and has been always serviced on time and was owned by an old couple.

ALSO is there a drain bung on the auto or is it a pan off affair?? I havnt yet looked or researched. I am going to do my own service with new oils and whatnot for piece of mind.

On the jerky throttle at low speeds/RPM you'll have to get used to it.It's more noticible in a manual.I found once you get used to it it's not too bad.You just have to go really gentle on the accelerator at low speeds.
