"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

I don't think it's got any electrical connections on it so perhaps you could just plug the pipe from the vacuum solenoid :?

Well it is only the low road tax HDi's that have a dozer but I'm not fully sure how it works.

It chokes the inlet manifold, I was told once that it snaps-shut when you kill the ignition which makes the engine stop without that big compression shock but maybe it can partially close on tick-over? I really don't know :oops: maybe it closes a bit forcing greater EGR recirculation?
