Transit Connect - 06 plate - 78k on clock
recently had problems with the van losing power after an hour or twos continuous driving, this then became so bad the car would struggle to get above 30.
diagnosed with worm out clutch - replaced
problem continued and now thermostat was showing over heating, also a loss of heater
diagnosed with faulty radiator - replaced
Since this work has been done, 900 miles have been covered in 3 days where the car has started to jumping while revving (after the engine has warmed up) causing the car to shake.
Furthermore, i have lost power twice while on major a roads, the engine still turned over but when accelerating huge gulfs of white smoke come out the back.
Managed to get it moving again by giving it a 20 minute break.
Any idea what is wrong? All responses appreciated as my local garage which has in the been ok in the past with my vehicles, seem clueless.
Thanks.
