Hi

Thanks Gurj for your response.

I am experiencing (when it happens at it's intermittent) a complete drop in power so sounds worse then your problems. My car just won't accerelate at all. The problem seems to be limited to acceralating away uphill from about 30-mpg (like leaving a 30 zone and going to a 60 speed limit) or in France when we left a toll booth or I was overtaking slowler cars.

I know at my last service they also changed all the oils.

Anyhow I hope you also get your problem sorted - must be fairly crappy having a problem which they can't locate. I'm hoping that it doesn't happen to me as since I'm back in London and I went around doing some chores yesterday the car was absolutely fine!!!

Cheers

Jamie
