Slowly falling out of love with my beautiful Aviano, endowed with the "magnificent" 3.0l engine.
Don't get me wrong, the MH habitational is just right for us but the engine/chassis????
Firstly, front wheel drive for a MH plated at 4000kilos was in hindsight a wrong move for me and my 125kg motorbike on a rear rack. Traction lost virtually at every steeper than normal incline and the standard understeering on everyday situations caused me to ditch my motorbike on our last return to uk last month. (I had also invested in not-too-cheap air suspension to try and help.)
Secondly, does anyone who has this engine combo get on with 1st and (to a slightly lesser extent) 2nd gears? First is absolute rubbish... start off is quickly followed by a deadspot which makes me look like a complete amateur as the vehilce jerks. 2nd is also not too clever... (3rd onwards are hiwever absolute peaches!)
I have noticed we have an ASR button on the dash. Never used it as it was never explained to us. I am praying it might mean ANTI-Skid or something like that. Can anyone shed any light please?
Thanks
