Hi folks,

Well, since I've been running my poor Miggy into the ground this last month, things seem to be going from bad to worse with her :-(

Firstly, every now and again, the engine vibrates quite badly - like it's missing on a cylinder or two.  Sometimes it's when the engine's cold, sometimes it's after shifting into a higher gear.  (I would have thought it was clutch judder, but there's no clutch slip under hard accelleration).

Secondly, it feels like it's lacking grunt.  It does pick up eventually, but it takes a while.

Thirdly, over 60mph, when I lift off the accellerator, there's a grumbling noise - it goes away when I put my foot down, but comes back when I lift off.  This is accopanied by some vibrations.  Could it be the prop shaft centre bearing, or is the diff stuffed??

Fourthly, the suspension wheezes quite a bit when going over speed bumps, and the car feels a bit "bouncy" - I take it that means it's time for me to fit new shockers?

Any advice would be greatly appreaciated
