Ok. Just been out to the Sport to give it its evening run and have promptly come back in due to this:

Started the car as normal (one flick of the key) and it started as it normally does after a few turns (it's -4c out there), to my amazement, it coughed and spluttered and sounded just like Brum for all of 5-10 seconds

Revs were down at between 100-500 during this "episode", so all was not well.

Now it could simply be an Omen and it is telling me to stay off the icy roads OR it could be an issue

Anyone else had this or similar

if it was a diesel - the common thing is to let the glow lamp go out when it's really cold, but yours is a petrol.......curious mate - not sure....

idiot tried to race me in the GTC this evening 0 he was in a BMW 650 - i can't believe some people think they are invincible, even if they don't see rain, or snow etc......black ice is the worse kind of hazzard. I crashed a car one, just moving off from standstill on black ice - whole car spun round and ended up in a ditch
