So I can confirm the factory is surveying owners.



My ownership experience is slightly different ...paid good cash and got a new car that is not up to quality... engine hangs its revs so you cant change gear as you have to let the revs drop which takes about 2 to 3 seconds.
Instead of enjoying the car ...I think of 'trading standards' / vosa / motor manufacturers associations or just pitching up and parking the car out side the factory with a big banner on it high lighting its undrivability.

Written to factory - sent emails - with no reply, supplying dealer told me - 'dont press the accelerator too hard' ...after a bolt rubbed through a water pipe - there was a potential that the engine could of been damaged so I pressed for a reply to the problem ... a verbal reply from factory was 'it does that to keep down the emissions down'.

Its all a poor show in this day & age.


A 3 second hang does not seem correct. I would give the dealer one more chance to fix, and then ask Williams if their remap will fix, if it does ask the supplying dealer to contribute to the cost of the remap -let the dealer know you that is your intention.
I hope you get it sorted as it must be spoiling the driving experience.
