Not a good moment today whilst driving from home to Newmarket.
All fine with the car until giving it a bit of a blast through the Hatfield tunnel, got up speed quickly but didn't feel quite right as I exited.
Vibrating when I next accelerated and not picking up properly, also engine management light below V8 Bi-turbo had come on.
This became progressively worse over the next mile or so and then when I met a slight incline I could feel the vibrating and lack of power become more apparent.
Limped onto hard shoulder and stopped, turned off ignition.
All sorts of nightmare scenarios going through my head :(
Restarted after a couple of minutes and warning light no longer illuminated.
Drove off and no further issues for the remaining 30 odd miles, although obviously I took it fairly easy.
Anybody any idea what could be wrong? :confused:
 
Your best hope is that it has thrown a code. Get it plugged in. It could be many things. Hopefully none that cause wallet damage.
