To be honest driving it back home from work it seems to still do it. Gonna test it over the weekend and go from there. If not happy it will be going back. It's a lovely car but something is not right with it. Love to try same year model just to compare.

When cruise at 30mph in fourth it's not a smooth ride but again u can slight feel it coughing as I call it. Was told it was the spark plugs but like I said it still don't feel right.

    Mine doesn't like certain fuel (eg asda). But nothing to the extreme of yours, just feels flat and a bit kangarooy when rolling along in gear and no gas. I usually run it on sainsburys super and it feels great on that.

    Well I just had the the tracking done because I rather it checked encase the previous owner did not. Guy asked me what been done to the car because it was well off and said my tyres would not have lasted a few months lol. All sorted now and popped into my local autoparts and put a forte in the car so gonna give it a few days to see if any improvement before I ring the garage up again.

    Well got my car booked in again. The coughing as I call it is still there and now getting a ping noise from what I could think sounds like the passenger spring. This car so far has had nothing but problems since I bought it. Oh and tonight the passenger headlight has blown.
