Hi,
Wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Brought a 2011 Sportium 207 in July (Paid the final payment off for my brother who had been leasing it from new). Last few days upon starting the car after not driving for a while (e.g. after finishing work/early morning etc) its struggling to start, when pulling away in first/second it starts to go as normal then suddenly cuts out (doesn't stall but battery light comes on - only resolved by turning on and off) as you can understand this is very dangerous at roundabouts.
Seems to be fine after the cars warmed up a bit. Also when idle it seems to be ticking over loudly and juddering.
Also worth mentioning the cars only done 13,000 miles and is about 9 months out of warranty.
Any ideas?
Thank you.
