Hi
I have an N reg 95 306 1.4XL and recently it has started to judder slightly.
It only seems to happen whilst the car is warming up, but when I take it to 2000 rpm it judders slightly and there is a slight loss of power. I am not sure if it is to do with the weather getting colder, or if it is something more serious but it is very annoing and I guess quite dangerous (esp when I am pulling out of junctions). After its been running for 5 minutes it is fine.
Someone suggested I might have a "flat spot" whatever that is.. further comments? Or can anyone explain what a flat spot is please?
many thanks!
Dave

Hi
Somone said this to me on a newsgroup:

I don't think the Peugeots have these, it was just a suggestion.

Have you done the usual, replace HT leads and spark plugs?
With the darker nights and mornings it is easier to spot an arking plug or lead. Pop the bonnet when you start it first thing and take a close look at the leads (don't touch them[B)]). You can often see a blue trail sparking along a faulty lead.
Also, how old is the exhaust system? Some modern cars are adversly affected by leaking exhausts. Or silencers can start to collapse internally causing running problems.
