   My saxo has been doing this exact same thing, I went to a few garages and one recommended putting in some redex. I put the redex in saturday and done 15 miles since and not had the issue again (yet).
   
   I have put it down to crap from the engine going into the fuel filter. I am going to keep an eye on it over the next few days but seems to have fixed it.
   
   It's £5 (ish) for redex so probably worth trying before taking to a garage.

   The pop/lurch will probably be a misfire of some sort. Could be a dirty sensor but what one is the million pound question as always...
