However on a faster road it sometimes develops a problem. If you accelerate fast (kick down) it gets to about 50mph and the engine seems to run really badly and the car won't accelerate. This sems to last for the rest of the journey. If you accelerate more gradually, you don't get the problem and can get to 70 easily. When this happens it activates one of the warnings (the one with the spanner), which goes when you restart the engine. Yesterday it activated the one that looks like an engine. This hasn't disappeared yet. I intend to get my mechanic to look into this problem. Does anybody have any suggestions/
Thanks,
Robert
