Was driving down the M56 and noticed the cruise control was not working.


Also noticed that the engine took a while to return to its idling speed. In some cases the engine was stuck at 1000 rpm. When changing gear noticed the engine slightly revving up. Sometimes this resulted me in rocketing thrrough when changing into second but then chugging along in third.

This jerked me off big time.

Parked the car and decided to go to the garage. The problems went! I was able to use cruise control and throttle was fine.

They booked it in for Tuesday but the guy said it could have been 3 problems..

1) Stuck pedal
2) stuck cable
3) Engine management.

Drove it again last night and everything seems okay.

The most embarassing thing is that the fellas in service know my name.

They were suprised as I was but they were not as focked off as I was.

The problem has not reapeared

I take it tomorrow for it to get checked. They will do the usual "plug a computer inth the cars ECU" and diagnose NOTHING.

Ill report on the work tomorrow afternoon.

Still love the car to pieces

They found the problem.

A faulty clutch sensor. Whats one of them? Parts been ordered but theres another problem.

The service has been great from Citroen Manchester. They always valet my car after its been seen. Thanks to the fact I have been to the garage 6 times, its such a clean car!!! They washed it yesterday and the auto car wash left a massive scrach in the rear bumper. I went livid tellign them you don't take a black car in one of them.

They said theyll fix it when the clutch sensors repaired.

Sick to ruddy death.t
