   Hello there,
   I've had my 1.1 Desire serviced today for the first time in god knows how long. (I bought the car recently and the last recorded service is 2005). Obviously keen to drive it to see the difference in performance and handeling after the service i jumped right it to go for a drive. Problem. When i am accelerating in any gear (Worse in lower gears) between 1000 and 2000 revs my car stutters. After driving like this for around 15 - 20 minutes the engine management light has come on. Any ideas what the muppets at the garage have done? I will obviously phoning them tomorow!
   Cheers

   Just thought i would tell everyone that the problem i experienced was due to a faulty spark plug that had cracked porcelain, spark plug changed, problem disappeared
