Fingers crossed that is the problem, just got to wait for garage to phone and book her in. Whats the best way to find out if there has been any engine mods done to her? Friend has the same car but reckons mine pulls away much quicker and harder than his, but then at the mo I have to change gear...

Its a strange problem but has been on a diagnostic thingy and nothing showing up as faulty! Still under warranty and had to take Mechanic out and prove something wrong cos they think its running sweet. Finally agreed something wrong! but got to wait to book her in.
