Cost reduction in the production line...

What Astramaster said, to save money. They've probably worked out the slightly lower power cars don't need it, and most buyers wouldn't have a clue what it was, or whether they'd got one or not.

Glad I've got a early car as the Watts link is a good bit of engineering

Vauxhall never mentioned it in their brochure or any of their price guides (including June 2015) so even they didn't see it as a major selling point. I've never thought about it before - it sounds like a good solution but unless you do a side by side comparison I suspect the difference is fairly minor for most normal driving.

First we knew was when we saw the MY2016.5 changes.
