I was driving my 206 earlier, and for about half an hour the car was driving sound. Then the rev counter needle kept flickering up and down and the gear stick was shaking then if I applied any pressure on the accelerator the car would cut out. It would then take a couple of mins to start again. Also the battery and oil light flash when the needle flickers.
Has anyone had this problem and if so what was the solution.

Could be a loose connection maybe the earth? Or battery? What condition is the battery in?

Tbh I have little knowledge on this issue. I am sure some of the guys will have a better idea. But the corroded terminal sounds like a good place to start...

Cheers mate I'll try that the most annoying thing is that I finally passed my test today and I paid 1500 to insure it and this goes wrong :/

i took her into the garage this morning and the machanic couldnt find the fault, he said to just keep driving it and to phone him if it does it again :/. he said that its probably because the car hasnt been driven in so long
