.... for the first twent minutes it aint running that great as in you put your foot down and it dont go fast..... after that it seems to ''wake up'' and it will rocket off if required.

this normal or something (else) wrong?

cheers.

[Webby the Bear]

What made you change the plug(s).
ie: why did you decide to change them ?

did you try paper clip test ?   if no codes stored its not easy to pinpoint a problem like this one..

does it judder even when its hot ?

[Webby the Bear]

well i was told no. 5 spark plug lead needed replacing (mechanic at w. grose told me to) so i got them to do that.

i havent done the paperclip test but i will do as ive seen a vid on here of how to do it.
yeah even when its been running ages, get it to 50 and it judders quite a bit.... but other speeds are fine!  :-? :-?

ill be honest i dont often do motorway/dual carriage way miles so i dont often exceed 40 tbh. i just want t o make sure im not screwing my car up by driving it loads if theres something wrong.

[cem_devecioglu]

if the car is facing unburnt fuel , you will cook the cats which is expensive.. :-/

[Webby the Bear]

again sorry for being dense but what do you think (in simple terms for me) is possibly happening?

cheers.

[cem_devecioglu]

lets see what other members think..

[Webby the Bear]

ok mate. cheers

[cem_devecioglu]

ok mate. cheers

try paperclip and post the results 

if you have some codes stored it  will be easier.. otherwise will require some tests and trials to see :-/

[Webby the Bear]

ok mate, i will do.

ill try it at the weekend when i got some time.

thanks for your help

I think you should take it back to the garage and tell them in no uncertain terms that you are not happy with the way that the car is performing. Remind them that that they have advised you to give them a lot of money to sort out your cars problems and they havent done so satisfactorily, and if they do not sort it out pronto you will call in trading standards and or / heavy mob

Wouldn't mind betting another plug is playing up..and/or the dis pack needs changing.
