I have had this one for a while but now coming to a point to fix the problem, in gear 1 in slow moving traffic when I apply the throttle it feels like a kangaroo jump, release throttle and you feel it again, apply thottle and so on. i have recently had a new coil pack, spark plugs and injector serviced.
any thoughts?

Do you just feel this when your car is still "cold" like just a minute or so after start up?
My 180 feels like that but then after 2 minutes it doesn't do it anymore

sounds like engine/ gearbox mounts, my 180 has always done this, replaced all mounts and there is still a bit of movement, so have to drive very smoothly no sudden movements on the accelerator pedal.
Does the car kangaroo if you apply the accelerator smoothly/ back off slowly? does it kangaroo in higher gears, when applying or backing off the throttle?

It will kangaroo cold or warm and only in gear 1 at a constant speed. I can avoid this by using clutch but it will wear if I do this all the time. Smooth acceleration doesn't help.
