URGENT car broken down :(

[welshname]

Engine management light is on, car juddering ( assuming that's LHM). Sat in maccys now

Ideas? Rang breakdown but they are gonna be like 2 hours. Anyone local with a diagnostics machine that fancies lending a hand?

be cheaper to buy one yourself than to call one out. normally around £40 for call out, and about same to buy one.

that would be a top idea. apart from the fact i couldnt get anywhere to buy one

im with britannia rescue anyway through my insurance. luckily the guy had one and diagnosed a missfire on 2 cylinders due to the coil pack. got my dad to go to euro car parts and buy me a new coil pack and i fitted it last night. runs better than it did before now, sorted out my stupidly low idle anyway.

Is your engine management light solid ON, or is it flashing on and off?
