Engine Cutting out just over 6600 rpm in Second Gear

Hi

 

I am wondering if this is normal or if I have done something to the engine. When I accelerate in 2nd gear the engine hits a limiter at just over 6600 rev and then cuts.

 

With the red line going up to 8000rpm, I would have thought it would have cut out there rather than just after the red line.

 

Any thoughts would be great, it's a UK 55 plate that done 5,000 miles.

 

Thanks

Welcome to the site mate :D

 

You can probably take it to about 7300rpm in all gears except 6....

 

Don't worry, no damage to the engine it cuts 2 prevent this :)
