    Not a word usually associated with Vectras I know. Engine runs fine normally, but when I switch the aircon on, under light engine loads the engine feels a bit lumpy. If I switch off the aircon while it is doing this, the engine smooths out and all is as it should be. Has anyone got any ideas please?
