accelerating

My 53 Sept '03 build C180K has been giving a slight slip-wouldn't say judder-it just feels like it is decoupling on and off for a micro second at about 30 odd MPH much like I had gone over a rough patch of tarmac. It sometimes takes a small while to engage reverse and can judder a little when...

... a 1993 Vauhall Calibra of course (if you've read this month's Top Gear mag). Subtle bonnet bulge accomodates an 11.5-litre Chevvy V8, giving a NOS-assisted output of 1400 BHP Hence 0-60 in 1.25 secs :eek: It's fully UK road-legal with tax, MOT, and insurance...

Hi, I have noticed that when I push my car really hard I get some form of electrical feedback (static) coming from the front of the dash somewhere :( it seems to crackle in tune with the rev counter ... Does anyone have any ideas where to start ? Also I had my windscreen replaced...
