Ok, been out tonight for a meal. Parked up engine temp was on 90 as normal. had a meal, few drinks (non alcoholic), got in car, started driving to the gf's local (bout 6 miles away). Engine temp on normal.
Started coming down a hill bout a mile from the destination and had to over take some slow ass sausage muncher and my mate, as i hit about 100mph in 5th i think i felt a jolt like a misfire and then the TCP light came on and traction control turned off.
When i pulled up to the car park the engine management light turned on. my mate said something smelt not good after i overtook him.
Had a drink in the pub, got in the car both lights still on. Drove to the pub up the road to check under the bonnet as its out of the way of houses. Checked for any strange noises, or any visible problems. Alternator/steering pump etc belt was still in tact, coolant level is fine, will check oil 2moz. Told the Mrs to hold the revs at 4000rpm to see if there were any unknown sounds, engine temp was normal, All was fine
Drove home (about 6 miles) at the speed limits, car drove fine, gave a little push to check if it would still pull, was fine, no strange noises etc
It has felt as if it has been misfiring since i bought, only at about 2000rpm in 2nd gear or so
Im worried this might be a large problem. Can anyone give me an insight at what could be wrong?
im going to a garage i know to get the fault codes checked to see if any appear
Any help is greatly appreciated as im pretty much crapping myself as i dont need a shed load of money to come out on a car ive only had about 2 weeks
