Hi All,
Thanks for reading this.
While on stationary in a cue, the RR suddenly started to shake. It sounded/felt like the engine lost half its cylinders. Once clear from the crossing i switched to N (neutral) and the wobble stopped. I remember having a similar issue 6 months ago while waiting with the engine idling and gearbox in D (drive). I must add that when driving with the engine between cold & warm (after driving 2-5 mls) i often (not always!) have a wobble the feels like and unbalanced wheel or a driveshaft issue, but that disappears as the engine/transmission warms up. I have a gut-feeling that i should look around the automatic transmission. And this thought send a cold and expensive chill down my spine... The car has 280.000Kms on the counter and in the past year i had to 'invest' the EAS, change a radiator, change a front wheel bearing and just came out of a cracked cylinder head issue... (sigh)

Anyone with a similar experience? Any good advice. Cos the more i invest in repairing stuff, the more the love-hate relationship with this P38 starts to shift to the latter feeling.
Thanks for your feedback !
Mike
 
You need to have the engine ECU fault codes read. Change the fuel filter & air filter if they have not been done recently and check that the in tank pump is working.
