I've only had my Brava eight weeks, but I seem to have done something to it and not being technically minded (ie. being female) I'm not sure what. When I bought it it had a very quiet purr when ticking over (at 10k miles). Now (at 11k miles), it still ticks over quietly, but there is a very tiny, almost imperceptible, judder every couple of seconds. A slight vibration and a slight vibration maybe every 3 seconds. It comes and goes and is also present while driving (the engine sounds slightly louder than normal while driving). I've had a look under the bonnet and all fluids are topped up OK, nothing seems to be missing and there aren't any 'extras' that seem to have got in the way, nor any warning lights on the dash.

Any thoughts anyone? Have I just been pulling away from traffic lights a little sharpish, or might there be something slightly loose? Or have I killed it? All suggestions appreciated as I'm on my own here and the only people who could look at it are garages.
 
Helz, what happens to the rev's when this happens, do they drop slightly?
