Hi all, hoping to get some help on two points.

My car has developed an annoying fault for the second time.
First time it happened, the car went into a limp where it skips through the gears very quickly (unable to change using paddles) and wouldn’t let me rev over 11/1200 revs. My mechanic found that the egr valve was loose after a previous clean/ repair and it was bolted down properly and the fault went away.

The problem has now come back some two years later and is now more frequent, nearly every time I drive. As I say, it skips through the gears under acceleration really quickly and will not rev over 1200 revs. There are and have not been, any warning lights.

second point, can anyone recommend an Indy with star in Hertfordshire?

many thanks
