well, approaching the last leg of our marathon 2 month trip in the UK, wearing out our welcome at many a relative's house as we go. Drove up the M1 and A1 yesterday from Surrey to Newcastle and on the A1 travelling at about 75mph I was quite literally just thinking 'hmmmm, the old bus hasn't missed a beat since we left Spain in June' when it did miss a beat!
Just a sudden miss, for a second, no puff of smoke, no loss off electrics that I could see. Carried on and a few mins later, the same thing happened. Slowed down to about 60, moved into nearside lane and awaited the breakdown but that didn't happen. Car seemed ok after that. bit concerned as I have to drive to cambridge at the end of week, then to Portsmouth, then from Bilbao about 500 miles across Spain.
Any thoughts on missfiring like that? I'm guessing at a fuel issue perhaps. It has recent fuel and air filter just before we left Spain.
Cheers
