Hi
In the past few months I been habit of regularly dropping to lower gear when going down hill. This means I'm using the engine to control my speed than the breaks. I feel more in more control of the vehicle, than when using the breaks, I know there is no way of it running away.
I would appreciate thoughts on the above, is this a bad habit? Is it damaging the engine? Am I being a complete plonker?
Look forward to replies.
Regards
Gary
