I have recently purchased a LWB t6.1 highline 150 manual, it’s covered just over 100k on a 2020 plate as a commercial vehicle. Unfortunately the history is patchy but I took a chance on it as it was within my limited budget.
I noticed the following day after purchase on the first start up of the day it runs very rough, idle blips up and down and it sounds like it’s only firing on 3 cylinders. I thought it might just be because it needed a good run but unfortunately not, after a few good runs it’s no better if anything possibly worse.
It drives spot on pulls well and once driven only to the end of the street the idle is fine, I’ve done a lot of reading around and can’t find anything specific to this. The only thing I’ve seen that I have slight concern about is the dual mass flywheel being mentioned as a possible cause. My concern for this is because the previous owner said he had the clutch done about 6 month ago, I’m just thinking it could have been a poor job or misdiagnosed flywheel issue. Also on a couple of occasions it’s popped out of first when I’ve been setting of from the lights, I just assumed this was because I wasn’t used to the vehicle and hadn’t fully engaged the gear but now I’m wondering?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I’m based in Leeds so any advice on a good local place to take it would be useful too, ideally not one of the places that seem to think you have money to burn because you own a transporter.
Thanks.
