Default engine hesitation

Paul sent a pm Kidge

Historically, there has been an intermittent engine hesitation on a steady throttle. The auto box is / was prone to change up of it's own accord. Both problems seemed to be worse in the rain . . . were / are they linked ?

As time went by the problem seemed to become more noticeable, especially on motorways, but rarely cross country.

Thinking it may be the led lights [winker circuits have ballast] I disconnected some or all of them, which appeared to solve the problem, but it reoccurred. Disconnecting the front offside side light gave best relief ?

Checked all earths were good.

A couple of you nudged me to try without leds and that helped . . .

Finally thought to check the number plate light, that had slipped below my radar . . . incandescent bulb fitted and no hesitation. Re-fitted the led bulb with ballast and that at present, a week, has solved the issue.

The auto box got worse at one stage but may now have settled into normal operation.

Here's the photo that should have been in the previous note, from my local roundabout.
