Flippin new cars. Help please!!

Hello all,
Typical isn't it, I have my red Cossie for nearly 2 years and no problems. I get one with half the mileage and in 3 weeks I have a problem!!
When driving, the power from the engine just seems to die away and I can floor the accelerator with no effect until suddenly with a bit of a cough and splutter, it comes back to life and runs normally for a while then does the same again. This has only happened in the last day or so and wondered if anyone else has any ideas. I haven't put the OBD lead on yet because it is a bit dark outside!!
Any ideas welcome
Baz

Sorry to hear that Baz, but i think that comes under the heading of "sods law". Take my probs for example what started out as a simple inlet manifold replacement turns into a full engine replacement, spending more money than she.s actually worth but i don't think i could part with her now and i'm not the only one who has spent this amount of money on their Scorp either, there will probably be others too.
Remember Baz, "always look on the bright side of life"
