Hi all.
My Micra 98 auto randomly couldn’t get up to speed yesterday. It started up absolutely fine. Pulled off fine. Few meters up the road, the engine started making what I can only describe as a growling noise plus it felt like something was holding it back, pulling, it couldn’t get up to speed but all of a sudden, after pulling over, it drove fine. It’s happened four times. All after the engine has been switched off for a while. So, I took it to my local Halfords as they do all the work on my car. It didn’t do it once on the way there! It didn’t do it when they took it on a test drive nor did it do it on the way home. I looked an absolute idiot. They looked bewildered. I took the car out today, exactly the same thing happened as I pulled into the next street from mine. I pulled over as someone in a lovely new car was tail gating me. Pulled off, not a problem.
Any ideas please? My autistic son is so in love with his little snot rocket (the car) so I’d hate to have to get rid of it. I don’t mind paying out on it as he’s so dependent & pretty much in love with it.
Thank you all.
