Hi mate,

I had a very similar issue with a Peugeot 106 (1.4 quiksilver), not necessarily the same but worth checking. My car had varoius things changed (happened just after i bought it so still under warranty) but the one thing that finally sorted it was a vacuum pipe being replaced. Unfortunately this was all done by Arnold Clark so trying to actually get any information out them was useless and i can't be more specific.

My issue was intermittent though, caused some embarassment when, sitting at a zebra crossing, an old woman started to cross then my car decided to redline itself, she looked at me like i was an idiot and i just sat there with a bright red face!!

Hope you get it sorted.
Chris
