Re:
1st gear take off as usual.
Change when you hear that the revs are right. 5th is a slight overdrive and 6th is just a fraction more with a ratio of about .800:1 and never ever tow in 6th gear unless on a flat frewway.

Re:
You can use 6th around town cause it's not a big overdrive.
Just listen to the engine, you'll know when to ghange up or down.

Re:
Neil's is a 6 speed manual petrol I believe.
Neil mate, it would make it easier for everyone to answer your questions if you include the year model and xtrail type in your signature.
