Scoob broke down
the car started coughing and spluttering with loads of back fires this morning and wouldn't go over 2000 revs, felt like one of the I/C hoses had come off but when I checked, they are all nice and secure!
Started it up and it started happening again, popped the bonnet and gave the throttle a couple of blips and all is well again
Need to get a front wheel bearing as it's starting to rumble now

Dont leave the wheel bearing too long mate, or you'll need to replace the hub like we had to on lin's. Not sure on the rough running tho.

Perhaps one of your stockings got caught up in the pullies?
Seriously, hope it's a one off

I can't work it out, driving fine again now, so just hoping that it's sucked up a little water or something silly!
All the best with the car, hope it's all sorted once and for all
