... and tell me I haven't made the mistake of my life!

After 18 months of Chimaera 500 ownership I have now moved onto a 4.2 Cerbera, the car needs a little TLC but nothing that a few weekends won't sort out.

But, here's my worry, when trying to maintain a steady speed on motorways it seems to start hesitating and seeking. It accelerates smoothy and runs like a rocket, it just seems to be when maintaining a steady speed i.e. 70-80 on the motorway that it has problems.

I have read about the laptop software that is available, but i'd welcome the thoughts of everyone and was also wondering if there was a Cerbera owner local to me who might be able to hook it up to their laptop?

I was going to try and book it into Austec, is this the right place to go, I'm in SE Kent?

Thanks guys.

Tim

Welcome and congrats on the purchase.

As for the hesitancy, mine did this one (and once only) after some very heavy rain. Soon after it went in for a service and the throttle pots were knackered so may have been the cause of it

Welcome.

I'd check the throttle pots, leads etc. However, they can be lumpy.
