strange juddering

Hi,

a problem has developed this morning with our T Reg V6 bongo. The engine starts fine and idles nicely in neutral, but when you engage the gearbox (D or R) the idling becoms more erratic and it the engine feels as though it is juddering as you pull off. At higher revs it seems to iron itself out, but we are obviously worried that it will get worse.

We don't have a bongo friendly garage we know of close to home, especially on a Saturday afternoon, so any thoughts would be gratefully received.

Thanks

Peter

Check the autobox oil level - it's a dipstick under the driver's seat. The level should be checked with the engine/gearbox warm and IDLING in P

Hi,

is this Greenway Motors in Taunton? The owner has a bongo himself and said that he does servicing on them, but is a Kia/Daihatsu specialist garage.

didn't see it on the sheet - did I miss it?

Hi,
Its fairwater garage, the mechanic owns a bongo so he knows where all the bits are, or mount street garage in bishops lydeard also look after a few bongos.
