hi,
george in crawley again...answer this one?

i hear a clicking sound when driving, lose power for half a second.
this has been happening 2 or 3 times on the way to work.
then recently is happened 6 times a few days ago.
then 8 times yesterday.
then about 100 times coming back from work today.
i now see that a warning light comes on , flashing for about half second.
this light is at about 7 o'clock positon on the temperature dial.
it now happens when stopped at junctions,etc.
any ideas?
george

Is it the same kinda click you get when you turn the ignition on and fuel pump primes / stops...

 

[murrawo]

it's not the same kinda click......bamboozled by this one.
i think i'd better stop driving till i get the prob sorted - or it could conk on me .....4 miles to work.
i had a new ecu put in as the other kindly shut down my car a few weeks ago.
it started doing this maybe 2/3 weeks after the ecu change.
which warning light is it?
b4 i go traipsing thro the haynes book.
george.
