   Right bit of a dodgy problem here.
   When im jus normally cruisin, usually in 4th or 5th, no high speeds jus normal stuff, like on motorway. Ill be travellin, no accelration or deceleration, jus constant speed, and the car feels like its slippin, as though its wheel spinnin, but with the speed and constant speed its at its not wheel spinning.
   
   Tires and wheels are good, wonderin if some sort of belt is slippin, I aint clue and thats best I can Describe it.
   Please someone, suggestions ?

   When you say slippin, do the revs go up but your speed doesnt? If so slipping clutch.
   
   Its hard to think of the problem as I cant really see it, hard to go on a description

   No revs dont go up. Like the car itself jumps slightly. Revs dont go up or speed.
   Jus on a normal cruisin speed, it'll like slip n jump. Explaining it is difficult to explain.

   I can't really understand the problem. Any chance of you filming it? Where abouts are you based?

   Does it feel like it's happening at the back or the front?

   Front. took it for a spin, dad reckons its hweel. As though its losin grip, but its not like when you put foot down, which i could understand it losin grip, but jus at a constant speed, 30 or 40+. So gotta look into passenger side wheel now.

   If it was losing grip there would be a change in rpm

    dont know a lot myself but on a previous car i had i would be driving along and the car would just jolt a little now and again , the earth form the gearbox to the chassis had come off after reatatching it ran fine
    
    long shot but check your main earth cables in the engine bay

    You sure that the engine doesn't cut out then start up again, causing the jolt?
