No real shock with this sentence, but I've started looking at new cars. Not much out there grabbing me though. The new Defender might be nice, but reliability would scare me.

Another day another problem in life
Driving home yesterday on the motorway and as usual traffic is slow. So, you're moving along a few feet every 20 seconds or so and we're getting near our junction when something doesn't feel right with the car. It's hard to accurately describe it but I'd probably say it was like something was off with the rev's when in low gear/speed - like the car is tempted to stall. Rather than the usual smooth rev up and down when balancing the accelerator with the clutch it felt more stop/start. This carried on for a few minutes and just as we were getting off the motorway the display flashed up saying Engine Malfunction, Service Now. We pulled up in a bus stop and turned the engine off for a minute, turned it back on and it rode the rest of the way home fine.
This morning I've driven to work, got within about 2 streets of the journey being done and as I've set off at a junction it's started again (no display message). At the next traffic lights I quickly turned ignition back off and then on again and the issue vanished again so a bit puzzled as to why the car has to run for X amount of time for it to happen and why a simple restart temporarily solves it, doesn't give much clue as to what the issue is.
