Joining motorway off slip road and was in 3rd up to 75, then dropped it into 4th but lost power and the car started to splutter  Settled down after a few seconds and was fine for 15 miles at 70 in 5th. Seemed OK around town stopping and starting etc.

Learn to drive ... I feel sorry for all your cars. You claim to keep changing em, but I think the cars drive off in the night to escape (herbie style)

Lynny, put my foot down in 4th and the power kicked in, then the car started to splutter and slow down.
Just have to take it easy for a few days and see how it goes. Might have just sucked something up like 3CorsaMeal said.

I think it was the black fuel thing I put in Plenty of diesel in the tank. If it blows up it won’t be the first car, I will ONLY be the 3rd 2 engines and a load of shit of the 106 so wasn't worth fixing
