New car, day 1, OBD Light...

[G3 NYX]

So picked my my 05 plate 1.6 16v yesterday.
Noticed driving it home that every time I accelerate it was really juddery and there was a real lack of power :/

Driving home today after work, the OBD light started flashing and juddery acceleration continued...

Booked into the garage on Monday but I'm advised not to drive it anywhere until then.

Any ideas of what it could be?
Can't believe I got ripped off by the seller, clearly was aware of the problem! It was private so there's no warranty...

Did you test drive it?

Faulty pencil Coil. VERY VERY VERY common problem across the range! Cheap to repair too if the garage knows what their doing.

Yeah thats what a few of my friends think

and lee, yes I did but I didn't want to rag it with the owner in the car

if its not the above then it might be the clutch, oil might have leaked and been absorbed by the clutch, might not be aligned properly or its worn/the fingers have broken
