FFS, I'm part-exing this thing on Wednesday and the warning light has started flashing at me today with the engine all shuddery and hesitant.

It's done the shudder thing a couple of times recently, each time it just happened to be after I'd filled up. I've been V-Power all the way, then I topped up woth Momentum, got a bit of shudder then fine for a week. Then I topped up (so maybe 50/50 mix) with standard Tesco UL, got some more shudder 5 mins afterwards then fine for a week.

Today, as I'm part-exing I've stuck in £40 of Tesco UL so it's probably nearly 100% standard UL now and I get the shudder and engine warning light.

Does the congregation here think there's any benefit/point in me brimming with some V-Power to richen the mix a bit to see me through to mid-week? I have an 80-mile round-trip commute so that's 240 miles I need to do.

I have asked if there's any chance of swapping cars on Tuesday instead, they can't tell me until Monday if that can be done. Means a day off work (and I'm on daily rate but I can cope with that, a day off appeals )

Not a happy end to the car for me, someone shunts me last week and now the engine's going tits-up!!
