[the_prophet]

[NWPerformance]

As said ^ cam belt etc is at 72k

 

[BROCKYS_172]

cam belt done 3months ago and last service about 6 months ago car uses every day all day so i do loads of miles init

 

[mini-valver]

Who did the belt? Been sluggish since then by any chance?

 

[NWPerformance]

When were the plugs last done?

 

[sideways danny]

spark plugs should be done, stupidly long "official" interval on them

 

[BROCKYS_172]

no just been sluggish 2nite not sure on plugs bt i may service and replace them oil getting quite dark

 

[BROCKYS_172]

i no the ht leads are worn abit my mate noticed them worn quite bad will this affect it ?

 

[NWPerformance]

How do you mean worn?

As Danny said the plugs last along time but i would check see if they have ever been changed

 

[BROCKYS_172]

they got white bit all over them my mate a member on here knows his cars and said there a bit nackered best to replace them

 

[Andyman]

Whats the point in taking it for a service if your already doing half the checks 6 months after it :S

Dark oil ftw

 

[Cooksport]

At 70k mate, just change the oil, filter, plugs, ht leads. That sort of stuff.

I tend to change my oil/filter every 7k (ish) anyway.

And when u say sluggish, do u mean u have just got used to the power again?

 

[ClioChloe.]

Change the plugs and filters. Also if the HT leads are looking a bit worse for ware then it's a perfect opportunity to replace them with some Lumenition leads

 

[barker22]

mine felt sluggish a few days ago, didn want to pick up as readily and it did feel 'slow'. when the roads were gritted gave it a good thrashin on the motorway in 3rd n 4th then a good chuck about on the b roads and it feels like it should now

Have you got a misfire or anything. i would say a full service would be a good place to start
