This change was no where near the red line I would guess at just over half revs. Also changing down to slow down invariably does not work as it won't. The display goes down a number but then immediately back up again.

I did try DSC and this worked fine but again used the brakes a lot and keeps it too slow for on road.

Do you have HDC? I use it sometimes here in the city.
