Hi Guys,
Can anyone think of what might be causing a problem we are currently experiencing with my boyfriends Rover 616 diesel please...
The problem we are having is that it keeps running as though it isn't firing all cylinders but there is no pattern to when it happens. As a result it means that the car looses power and on occasions are having to drop gears only to get less than 50mph out of it until it decides to behave.
It's turning into a big problem as it has happened a couple of times now on the motorway and last night it seemed that the car couldn't actually go any faster than 50 (jokes aside people, we know this isn't a fast car).
I've suggested that we should replace the leads and plugs since I think they are quite old and probably breaking down a bit, but my concern is that this won't actually improve anything and that there is a more serious probelm afoot.
Any ideas??
Thanks guys!
