Zugara Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 You could always get the code, then do the ecu reset.... Noise could be the thrust bearing, a know noise maker... Chugging, spark plug loose/.....what service did you have? Have you opened bonnet and had a look to see if anything is obviously wrong. Oil cap left off? clutching here really mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EH 370z Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Call the garage first thing in the morning and tell them about your difficulties. Then get the car to them ASAP. If they are worth their salt they will be as keen to the car back as you Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
