Hi all

Wondered if anybody has an idea about my car, often when ive been travelling on the motorway/dual carriageway, when i come off the slip road and stop at the roundabout, when i pull away it feels like theres a power build up but the car doesnt want to go....then wooooosh im off flying down the road!!!

Any body got any idea what this could be? It doesnt always do it which makes me even more confused.

I know about testing for error codes under the dash but me shoulders are way to wide to be getting down there!!!!!

Any help would be greatly received

Brake calipers sticking?
Clutch slip?
Sticking boost solenoid?

In the last service they did have to unstick my rear pads as they were sticking and not working properly

connected you think??

Could be.
Does it feel like the brakes are on/holding you back when you pull away?
