Hello ronb

Lack of power could be due to all sorts of things, not least wear and tear. However, before doing any major investigations, when was the last full service, by which I mean not just oil and filter but spark plugs and air/fuel filters etc?

Also, are there any signs of anything odd under the bonnet, eg overheating, loosing fluids, contaminated oil or coolant?
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all the evidence and pretend you never tried :lol:
