My Clio has been parked on my drive for 2 weeks while i was on holiday, and now when i drive it, it judders and struggles when in lower gears. The oil light started flashing and when i looked in the book it says keep speed low and see your dealer. This problem has also happened a few months ago and i took it to a mechanic who changed the coil pack...? I drove it today and the light didn't come on again but it still struggled (however it lessened the more i drove it) so could it be that i just need to drive it more to loosen everything up or does it need something doing to it? Thanks
