Another day...another problem at 4K
« on: 18 April 2006, 12:49 »
i noticed today on the motorway that if my car is travelling around the 85 mph mark in the 5th gear, its kinda hiccups and the revs drop a couple of hundred and then it carries on, and just when you thin it was a one off it happens again and so on for th rest of the journey, i dropped down a gear and held it at 85 mph and nothing happened so it must be based on the revs (maybe)

any one got any ideas whats gone wrong
