And there was me expecting you to say diesel - in which case I'd say the diesel particulate filter and give it a good pasting to clear it.

My money's on it being an EGR related fault.
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

Is it an ep6 engine?
If so, check the oil cap and dipstick are seated correctly, they run like a pig if the crankcase system can suck in air, and it may also make the
cooling fans run continually.

Daughters did similar a few years ago, it was a stuck vtr valve, another symptom was when starting it sounded as though there was no compression.
We cleaned it and got it running well enough to trade in against a Fiesta.

Could be any one of hundreds of faults. You need a code read and work from there.... However from experience of how people describe faults and
balance of probability I'd pick coil pack.... But I wouldn't bet money on it.

A code reader should take some of the guests work out. Failing that drive away from home and call the AA man out, he will tell ya... presuming you
have break down cover...
