First time had a stutter was under the following circumstances, I had accelerated flat out in 1st then 2nd then took my foot off completely for about 3 seconds, I then floored it again and it accelerated for maybe a second then stuttered before accelerating again. I had a look on the tinterweb and all I found was an article saying that under those circumstances there is an issue with air turbulence in the air filter box which can cause a stutter. The car had done less than 10k and don't stutter again until it was in the 20s.

If they are paying for the valve clean then have it. Was talking to someone earlier today and works for Citroen, and apparently they have this 8 hour engine cleane that deals with the inlet valves. They dont remove the cylibder head he was telling me, (As they used to) so maybe its a less intrusive fix, and if its free, give it a go.
As always, my disclaimer is that i may have picked some of the conversation up wrongsigpicJog on Noddy

Update.. car has gone in for the carbon strip down and clean.. said it's going be 4days... So they give me a lovely c1 that does not feel safe.. and sounds like a bag of nails being shaken by a chronic masterbater and feels like it's going be blowen away on the m4.. but on the plus side it does have a lot of kit.. including a touch screen that I wish my ds3 had.. and built in dab that I also wish I had.. but overal I dropped car off at 9am and I want my ds3 back already
