More poke than viagr
Hi, ive just got back from a bit of a trip today and on the way the clio was playing up terribly!
I dont know if anyone else has had this problem or what the fault is but, say your driving down a road at a steady 60 and all of a sudden the car puts itself into limp mode, revs drop to 2000rpm and there is basically no throttle. The only way to reset it is to switch everything off and restart it.
Needless to say, whilst driving along county lanes at about 50 and having to switch your car off (no power steering and s**t brakes) and then try and restart it, isnt the most pleasant experience...especially when it seems to happen every two minutes.
I also noticed that this also happens when you change down a gear for a roundabout or a corner...again its pretty dangerous when this happens approaching a junction or a roundabout as you suddenly have no throttle and could be stranded in the middle of the road...i also think it would be so easy for someone to rear end me whilst trying to limp across the junction or whatever as they would not expect this.
Anyway i am seriously pissed off about this as it has spoilt a great day and i havnt really got the time or money for it to be in a garage all week (especially with FCS at the weekend) so any advice or past experiences of this sort of trouble would be very appreciated.
Thanks.
