Thanks for that it seems like a lot of people r having this problem a don't no how true this is but ave heard that on tick over they do run on 3 cylinders it's all to do with fuel economy saving on fuel but true or false a just don't no.

Thanks tho

The 1.9 is an old (but reliable) lump, certainly no fuel saving systems on it as advanced as cylinder shut-down.
