As i left for work this afternoon, i noticed the engine seemed to be spluttering slightly.
I stopped at a set of traffic lights, and the spanner light came on briefly, before going off again, so i continued onto the motorway. All of a sudden the slight spluttering turned into fairly violent spluttering/shuddering/intermittent power loss, which was literally throwing me about in my seat. It sounded like the engine was trying to remove itself from the mounts! All of this was followed by the inevitable spanner light and spluttering 'limp home mode', at which point i was on the hard shoulder switching on the hazards.
I phoned Green Flag, who asked me what was wrong, and when i explained it to them, they said that they would just recover the vehicle, as opposed to try and find what was wrong.
- it ended up being taken home on a recovery truck.
The engine now ticks over, with an intermittent spanner light, and feels really lumpy between 1-3k when revving, and shudders slightly when ticking over.
Has anybody got any ideas, as the majority of garages around me are shut for christmas, and our first child has just been born, and without the Siggy (family car), i can't get her anywhere
Cheers,
Scott.
