Hiya guys,
I was just out driving and the car stalled a couple of times (waiting for traffic). She doesn't normally idle low, and after I re-started her she was fine again for a bit. Then she started lunging when I was pootling along at 30mph in traffic in third gear. It was so bad that I nearly pulled over to get out of the way of traffic. Then after about 20 seconds, it stopped happening, so I carried on (I was less than a mile from home anyway). Got home, pulled into the parking space, she was idling fine at this point. I popped the bonnet and couldn't see anything blatantly wrong. Then she cut out again.
Luckily she's booked in to see VT tomorrow anyway, as I think one of the wheel bearings is on the way out, so I'll ask them to take a look at this too.. but in the mean time, hopefully to save me panicing about a wallet-bashing, does anyone have any initial thoughts?
Cheers
Mark
