New car keeps on stalling.

I had a problem on and off with my new car, particularly with it stalling when I go to move away.

Bobjugs had a good old look at it today and found a crumpled up t-shirt under the bonnet, covering the air filter. Could this be what was causing the problem?

TIA.

Now that's a car crash!

What do you take to an MOT?

Where's the person that was wearing it? Inside the intake manifold?

(don't let him near it .. he breaks cars)

Probably .. if it was covering intake to the airbox.

(super high-heels can cause it too) ; )

Is this the whine of the week, NoM, the one you were promising us?

Enjoy your new beasty on the road, NoM. Has the car a name yet, like Beaune or Fleurie, or possibly is it a Morgon? They (Morgans) are made quite close to you, I think.....

About 20 miles?

Yes I'd say the T shirt would strangle the engine. Whe you say new you mean new to you presumably?

Yes, with less than 9,000 miles OTC.
