Guys

I've got my first Ka - I'm 19 and have inherited a 1.3 from a relative. It's an 03 and has only doen 25k

Problem is that it shudders when accelerating - seems okay is driven gently.

Tried to get the codes but got a 'O' comming up no P+4 numbers

Any Ideas

    Could be the clutch, or the brakes aren't set properly and their touching the disks as you drive.

    Thanks for the reply. I may have lead you astray with the words shuddering. Its more a jumpy - judderign as i accelerate so I think its engine or fuel related.

    While I'm on - my uncle found a site that had pdf of workshop manuals for his Alpha for free. Are they any sites like that for the KA.

    Cheers
