Quite nice when crawling in traffic and coasting rather than being slowed down by the engine when the car overruns.
They are fairly fragile units. There used to be a Clumsy Oaf Club in the BOC for those who had over revved in first gear and burst the freewheel.

Many thanks, Chris, for outlining what it does.
I suspected as much and have tried to see if it freewheels in first gear - it doesn't, so it's either Kapput or ..........? So, can anyone enlighten me as to what happens when the freewheel unit goes wrong? Will I see swarf etc when I drain the oil? Can they be disabled, or if it is out-of-action, does it mean that its broken?
