• I've had a problem with my new-ish car.

    I drove from London to Oxford on Christmas Eve, and it was absolutely fine. Stopped in Oxford for 10 minutes or so, and when I started it up again, there was a "Check injection" message on the trip computer, and the engine sounded like it wasn't firing properly - rough idle, and less powerful than usual. Since then I've had to use it on the motorway and it's really underpowered - it won't really go above 60mph on hills, and barely made it up the Stokenchurch Gap.

    Any speculation for what it's likely to be, or recommendations for a garage in East London that could take a look at it? (Mk2 Megane)

  • Coil blocks?

  • Wood Street Autos are generally a reasonable bunch.

  • Edit: misread check injection as check engine, below advice less useful.

    See if there’s a way to get the engine error code without an obd reader. You can do it on my car by twisting the key to just before ignition, while holding accelerator and brake down (or something). Google the make and model and check error code - there might be a way.

  • Read the error codes before scatter gun changing things. Could be so many different things!

  • I mentioned coil packs because they were a problem on older Meganes.

  • Got an OBD2 reader? I have one and can lend it to you. ah see you have bought one.

    See if there is a code and then clear it. See if it comes back.

    Before changing anything, confirm that everything with a fault code is connected properly, and contacts are all clean.
