Just had a twitchy moment on a corner that I normally have no problems with. Young kid in the 106 behind seemed to enjoy watching me correct, over steer and correct again!

The roads round here seem particularly bad though for bumps and cabling grooves - every two minutes my car is being jolted about. Had the geo done recently but it feels like it has been completely knocked out and I'm in a go-kart.

Definately feeling a much lighter front end at the moment, which is a little more unsettling than a slippy rear... definately not a fan of the understeer

Im so glad i read have read this, i had a 'moment' yesterday afternoon which resulted in me facing the wrong way on the city bypass. I wasnt gunning it by any stretch of imagination, there are traffice lights 2 mins before the incident, which i was stopped at. I could only have been going around 40.

Anyway the car flashed on the engine light and wouldnt start. The aa where called and told me that there was excess pressure in my manifold. Is this likley to have caused the car to act inproperly or is this likely to be caused because of the 'moment'?

Thoughts are appreciated cheers

excess pressure? sounds like your MAP sensor has had it.

The sheet that the aa gave me, said "P0108 manifold absolute pressure/barometric pressure sensor circuit high input"

Im not mechanically minded at all so it means nothing to me.

Ive only had the car 3 weeks so anything that is wrong will be covered.

If it is the MAP is that a big job?
