Hi Folks,
Yesterday evening, for no apparent reason, my up till then perfectly running megane started acting up. Its hard to describe what's happening, but, I'll do my best:
When accelerating, it doesn't accelerate smoothly. It is quite rough, even jumpy. Engine doesn't seem to have the same power as it had previously. Also, when stopped in traffic / at traffic lights, the car shakes quite badly. But, if I give it a little acceleration the shaking stops.
Car was serviced in the middle of last week. I've put up about 600 miles since, cause I was away for the weekend. Ran perfectly. After work yesterday filled up with petrol, and drove 40 miles without any issues. On the way home after collecting the gf from work (2 mins drive from the house) all this started.
Any ideas what's causing this? Help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not going to have a chance to get to a garage today, but don't want to be driving it either if I shouldn't be. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
HL
