Hi,
My 2004 2.0hdi mildly 'kangaroos' on a light throttle load of around 2500 rpm in top gear. Things smooth out if you apply a load to the engine. Any ideas, thanks for your help.

I wouldn't call 2500 rpm in top gear pootling, it's 70mph

Mine gets a run on the motorway at 2500 rpm for at least an hour a time 4 times a week, don't reckon mine will be coked up!
