Hi, can anyone recommend a garage that will run a diagnostic check on my 2.9 V6.please. Ideally in North Yorkshire. I haven’t had the car long and it has some hesitation whilst accelerating not much but noticeable. When I reduce to tick over it drops to 800-900 then revs up to 1000! I occasionally get a petrol smell. I’ve done the plugs which had too big a gap. I’ve unplugged the ECU left it a minute and plugged back in but no difference.
Thank you.

If you're looking to diagnose under load, Motorscope at Northallerton are recommended.

Thank you. I’ve passed a few times and thought it was a chrome exhaust tips and loud stereo type place....Ooops pardon my ignorance. My previous knowledge has been carburettors which seem to be in comforting oily back street sheds with amazingly talented engineers who can hear a struggling jet at 20 paces!!

Used to do a lot of rally prep in the day, but have an excellent dyno facility and lots of experience with fuel injection..not saying you couldn't pick up a chrome exhaust tip up smile

Thank you. Someone elsewhere suggested Thirsk Autocentre on the industrial estate. Have you heard any comments/reviews about them?
