Last night, I was slowing down for a bend, and went to change down a gear (one foot on brakes, one foot on the clutch, so no acceleration) and as I pushed in the clutch, the car sort of stalled. A heap of lights came on the dash and the car shuddered, so I think it must have almost stalled and just picked up again. Luckily there was pub car park right there that I turned into.
The engine was still running, so I had servo and power steering, but the amber engine management light was on.
I switched off, and after checking belts looked ok, started up and all was well.
Is this a problem starting to emerge?
Or just possibly a one off thing - I did have my lights on and the fan set on 1 or 2. It was a little chilly last night.
The car doesn't have lumpy idle or anything, it's rock solid.
