Hi,
Yesterday drove the car into canary wharf and left it in the car-park for about 45 mins, came back and it refused to start. It was turning over but just not starting. Anyway I went outside to call the AA (underground car-park = no reception) and in the mean time the g/f managed to get it started.
Anyway after that it felt very hesitant to rev kind of like there was a delay between putting my foot down and the thing responding which was weird. Then I noticed that it was idling at 2000rpm instead of the usual 800 ish. I revved it up a bit and as the revs rose the temperature gauge fell and then rose back to normal as I came off the revs?!?!?!?! Got it back home and restarted it without any problems and it seems to be fine again. This has happened before about a month ago (it stalled whilst stationary at a very busy junction and then refused to start again - was more than a bit annoying), i thought it had gone away though.
Has anybody had this happen to them, and any idea whats causing it?
Ta
Ben
