Hey guys. Just got the car back from a service and have found a few problems. I'll tell ya what the car was like before and after.

Before - Car would start and sit at about 1100rpm from 0 to 90 deg. Good power spread through the full travel of pedal.

Now - Picked up car at garage and was stalling all the time when cold(now seems to have cleared up). But there is a dead spot when giving it gas.
From 0-1/4" travel car ok.
From 1/4-1" travel car sounds like it is bogged down!!
From 1" on the car goes like rocket.

Now the sizes quoted are probably bigger(cant really get good view to judge) But this is a bit of a nightmare for getting away nicely at junctions.

All opinions wanted here guys

Billy.

Hey guys, been out in the car today and the car IS still stalling when hot and cold. Its a nightmare to drive around town with.

Looks like it will have to go back to the garage asap.
