    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    It's changing gears fine,they're a bit tighter compared to my old car but that's age related x

    Hard to tell without seeing the car, but start with some simple stuff. Have you had the air filter checked?

    My guess would be a sensor, possibly o2 causing the car to run lean. Does it make any difference if the engine is warm/cold?

    Well I drove the car first thing this morning and it did it, drove it at 3 again and didn't do it, drove it again at 6 and it didn't do it "/ I'm losing the plot with it. X x

    Def sounds like a sensor (maybe crank sensor) of some sort .. Not too sure but know the symptoms.
    The down side would be taking it back and nothing happens they'll probably not want to get involved but I would make them aware of the issue and that you "might" go in.
    Not too sure if the OBD reader would be any use until it throws up a fault .. although might not do any harm to check and clear any codes stored.
    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    If any codes are stored ,it would be a basis for further investigation work ,possible for codes without any warning lights and one of the first things a dealer would also check,one further thing ,when was the car last serviced and what was done ?
    The cars in front are New MINI Scotland

    It had a full service in August. And has been recently MOT'd, only advisory was the front reg plate was a bit marked but still legible. Other than that it's had a clean bill of health. I think il see if one of the guys can help me with an obd and see if any codes come up. Il call the garage on Monday once I get something sorted x x
