Hi all,
Had been driving for around 30 minutes and was doing 40mph when the car started kangaroo-ing. Slight pressure on the clutch made the car driveable, but as soon as I took the foot off the angarooing started again. Managed to get to work and called out RAC. Set off round the block a few times, and after about 10 minutes in traffic the kangarooing started again when I got up to about 30. It continued at all speeds (and gears) until I arrived at work.
After about 30 minutes under the bonnet I was told it "could be any number of things" (very helpful), but probably something wrong with the distributor cap. At this time all garages were shut and the car was towed home.
Anyone had any experience like this? Or any better ideas? It's up for MOT and tax this month and depending on the probable cost of repair I might be better off looking for a new car...
