Hi there,
Trying to prepare myself for an expensive shock...lol.
We have a Ford galaxy, petrol.manual it has taken to what i describe as kangaroo hopping,bit like someone taking the foot off and on the accelarator quickly.
It doesn't do this all the time,but when it does we have noticed that it is always at low revs, and about twice now it has cut out when standing still at lights or a junction. as I say it doesn't do it all the time just occasionally can go days without doing it.
Any ideas what this could be and even more importantly how painful to me purse.
Thanks in advance,
s
