I've a feeling that I've been struck by a portable Fri 13th- it moved to Mon 16th!
On my pootle into work this morning, it was struck down with a dose of 'no power'- just like the first time I ran out of petrol, when I first got the car (that was when I didn't plot my journeys in terms of MTNO - Miles To Next Optimax).
This time I had an almost full tank. Symptoms are all a bit strange: in the layby that I limped into, the car was absolutely fine in N, no problem revving. As soon as it goes into D, any attempt to move resulted in a drop in revs and stall, usually bt the time it gets to 2.
Holding it in 1 on the tip' results in same symptoms.
Anyone had anything similar? And if so, how expensive was it!
Its currently been carted off to Marshalls in Cambridge for TLC.
