Yesterday when out in the Disco for a short distance the engine mis behaved.

Just pulled out of a junction then up a slight incline, accelerating and just picking up speed, on a country lane, probably around 20 - 30mph. It was as tho the throttle was on/off/on/off with the foot on the accelerator in the same position, a bit like it didn't know whether to change down or stay in the same gear. Think I was in 3rd gear when this was happening so would have dropped down into 2nd. When I did press the accelerator to force a down change, it didn't die on me but didn't zoom away either more hesitatant. Had been driving fine before that and was OK later.

Any ideas on what to check, or just keep driving until something stops ?
