Hi folks,
The travails continue but need a bit of help figuring this one out:
Driving along quite merrily when car starts making a metallic graunching noise again, as it did the other week, this time though was accompanied by a real hesitancy that caused the car to stall, I was turning a tight corner onto an industrial estate so maybe drop in revs might partly in effect, anyway, I pulled the car over and restarted and there was a definite vibration present also.
As I'd luckily basically reached my destination there were about 90 mins before I got back to the car, it started up fine and smooth but quickly began to run rough again after a few mins, quite a noticeable vibration and misfire. Decided to limp car the mile or so home and as I set off the metallic noise reappears, I wondered if it was the clutch but the car went into gear fine, and not sure why that would make the car run lumpy etc. etc.? Drive back at first required keeping revs up but then it started badly kangerooing and needed to slip the clutch as well to get it back.
Any useful thoughts as to what could cause my Puma to suddenly become a hiccupy Skippy would be appreciated :grin:
