This has nothing to do with model boats, although I am a model boater. I know that we have some forum members who are very knowledgable about cars. My problem, I drive a 1994 Rover Metro 1100 S, and up until 2 months ago it went with no problems whatsoever. When ticking over correctly, it ran at about 1000 rpm. When the problems started, the ticking over revs dropped to about 100 or 200, and sometimes the engine stalled. The next symptom to appear was when cruising at 40 to 50 mph, the whole car started juddering and vibrating. The only way I can clear it is to change down into third, give it some wellie, then change up.
I have put it into two garages for attention, just had a 12000 mile full servicing done, but the problem is still there. This is driving me nuts, so apart from putting it in the scrapyard, has anyone any ideas, please? Many thanks, Pete M
