Anyone else had this before / any thoughts?

Hey Had this happen a couple of times lately, going around 30ph I think in maybe 3rd gear and suddenly the car wouldn't accelarate, instead it started jumping/bunny hopping. Stopped and turned off the car and after starting back up it was ok and it was ok for the 30 mile drive home, but then...

Is that EBay item everything you’d need if I were to supply parts?

I did see this earlier and saved it, that brand https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/372637138404 Any idea of labour cost roughly?

I don’t know if it’s been replaced before but no I don’t mind I was after an opinion as the chap said he thinks the solid conversions are better I’ve got no idea myself so just after advice and an idea on overall price

Just looking on eBay I’ve found some dmf/clutch kit/csc kits for around 250 and clutch kits/solid conversion Kit for about 180-200 no idea myself so keen to know but just thought I’d check part prices quickly

Hi all Just had a mechanic mate look at my car as it’s been jumping so thought maybe EGR valve , but when idling and when you press the clutch there’s a loud rattle /shake at idol and he said it’s the dmf reckons it’s a mega expensive job and might be worthwhile doing a solid flywheel...

Cheers mate FYI the Wynns Diesel cleaner done the trick, no smoke or smell after whizzing it down the A45

Thanks for that, good information. It is one of the rears as it turns out

I do about 70 miles a day, ish, northampton to leicester. The 3-4 miles in leicester centre is very start stop crawl, but the rest is 60-70mph roads.

I have had my car for a year but the past 4 or 5 tests it has failed on the same thing, excessive smoke, before passing. The garage advised me to put some diesel cleaner in it (e.g. Wynns) and take it for a blast before the re-test. any idea what the underlying issue could be? Googling seems...

Not many, 50 maybe I spoke to the manager at the garage and he apologised and offered us a free tyre for the one which needs replacing. Better than nothing

Surely they must be accountable for slack workmanship, something as simple as making sure wheel nuts are in correctly, no? I will try the CEO still

Hey just wondering where I stand here partners car needed 3 new tyres, the garage only had two so they put them on the back and moved the other worn one to the front. Today she was driving down the motorway and car was making a loud noise and juddering. Ended up calling the RAC and they said...
