Driving along the A38 in abysmal rain, I noticed after 30 mins of driving fine that revving in 6 or 7 seemed to judder.
Turned off at buckfast and went up a hill, had trouble automatically changing gear so changed gear manually and felt a bit more responsive but neared the top of the hill and the EPC light came on and another light that had a car with some skidding lines came on. Also the radiator light? All in orange.
I pulled over, waited for a while, then turned it round and coasted back down the hill to buckfast abbey where I parked. I opened the bonnet and it looks a bit wet in, including over some wires, but nothing obviously loose or low.
Went for a 10 min walk to calm nerves (buy a load of Bucky). Have just come back and tried to turn on. It sounds fine. No warning lights any more. I tried to rev and it revs fine (I think - only drove it a little way in a carpark so didn't get out of first).
Thoughts? Viable to drive back home or am I going to cause further catastrophic damage?
