Hi, wondering if anyone could give me an idea of what my car is playing at :cool:

She's been great when I brought her, just a few weeks back, smooth engine, gear changes etc. She seemed fab.

Suddernly she's started to rev at idle, cuts out at low revs or when I'm turning the car.

She cut out on me at high speed on the dual carriageway, engine died. Started straight back up again. She's now suffering terrible shuddering and shaking when at a junction or stopped.

Any idea what this could be?

Shes a 1993 model, with 190,000 miles on the clock. E280 Estate.

Thanks, any help would be great :-D

It could be the over-voltage protection relay

just search on here and see the many many symptoms we have all endured re this rotten piece of kit.
It could also be your MAS playing up as well/instead. Also search on here.
Welcome aboard fellow sufferer.
