    Morning chaps, Odd thing on my car is when at rest it "hunts" at tickover- It's erratic at 650 - 700 and then rises to 1600 rpm without me doing anything and then drops back to 650 to 700. Does this repeatedly every 15 - 30 seconds. Got the MoT coming up and if it's anything Air mass related...

    My V belt let go this morning. The first I knew was the battery warning light came on, then the temp started to rise so I managed to pull off the road just as the temp went into the red and the warning light came on. I had lost the power steering by now. I called recovery and a new belt was...
