  1. Pd 170 engine splutter

    Is it limp mode you are encountering I wonder? It could be something simple like a split/perished vacuum pipe leaking causing that to kick in, its not necessarily something expensive, just needs tracing by an honest mechanic. Hope you sort it.

  8. Altea economy - normal or not?

    I think it will be fine on longer runs when the engine warms up.
