    08 Vectra 1.6 petrol recently done work like timing, water pump and passed nct.

    Last week or two noticed minor stuttering and got worse yesterday. When accelerating in 3rd or 4th gear feels like engine is waiting on something.

    Wonder is it fuel delivery or something, does this sound like a job an indie could do or main dealer only ? Thanks

    When you put your foot down does it sound like an automatic ? A slight delay before the car actually acts to accelerate.

    Not 100% but probably about 4-500 but best to shop around and get some second opinions and to actually diagnose the fault.

    You could order a clutch of eurocarparts they start at £70 and go upto £250 then to fit it €150 around that
