How very true. My 10 year-old car, Volkswagen Polo, is playing up when I first start it. It stinks of petrol, is lumpy, noisey and, unless you wait till it settles down, lurches and won't pull if you put your foot on the accelerator. This happens particularly the first time it's started on any day. I took it to the main dealer, because we're convinced that it's the automatic choke that'splaying up. They kept it over two nights, started it twice on the first day, and once on the second. Charged me GBP 120 and told me there's nothing wrong with it. A couple of weeks later I took it to my local friendly garage, who doesn't charge for an investigation if they can't find anything wrong. They said the tickover is a bit fast, but acceptable, and other than that - there's nothing wrong with it. Of coursem I can't just take it into a garage and say "Look - this is what's happening.", because I have to let it settle down before I can go anywhere. So when they start it, it's OK.
