If I just start out in the morning, the car kangaroo I think it's when I'm in a high gear and the revs drop, but enough revs to do it when the engines warm if you know what I mean.
Basically I've got to thrash the car everywhere at high rpm for a good 10 mins or it will start bouncing around, and it makes you look a right twonk.
Anyone want a shot at guessing what it is? goes away once it's warmed up but very annoying. |

Haven't tried anything yet mate it's only been doing it for two days, first day I thought hmm well it has been pissing it down with rain so we'll wait and see today it done it again so again I'm waiting to see tommorow if it does it again.
Will redex or anything like that help? |

take the air box off and spray in carb cleaner till it nearly stalls (instructions on can lol) or if your half skilled take the TB off and clean it proper, then after you re-fit it clean the rest off as first stated and spray till it nearly stalls, should clean it all out for ya
and as far as REDEX goes i havent tried it before i wouldnt waste my money on it carb cleaner is a much better product and good for cleaning parts to  |

Think I'll give this a try on mine as it's done what Darren described once or twice. Nothing as major as he described but along the same lines. Could whatever causes this problem affect the fuel consumption in any way? |

Don our cars must have been sat next to each other on the production line or something mate lol, We've pretty much had the same problems.
Clutch bearing, wheel bearing/hub spacing, this jumping, mpg. |

Mine does a similar thing just not as bad.as an example of mine it will have easily enough revs to get up a small hill coming out of a junction in second,but if cold will lose power and judder until I whack it into first and get up.It does it in medium revs in higher gears too sometimes and yes, clean the injectors was something I was recommended to do.needless to say havent had the weather since I wanted to do it! |
