Afternoon all,
I am after some advice on my 'L' reg C280. When I am at idle in the traffic, or slowly creeping forward in a slow moving jam, my car surges like crazy! So much so that this evening I ended up kangarooing along the road in a slow line of traffic!! It is driving me mad, and is quite dangerous, several times I have nearly hit the car in front when coming to a stop at the lights.

Any ideas?
Pete

Throttle body may be gummed up, try cleaning with a healthy dose of carb cleaner.
