Engine very ropey

[JohnnyE]

At the moment my cars running poo, it stared today after i found that the alternater was not charging the battery due to a bad connection this was fitted 2 weeks ago.
When i put my footdown theres no acceleration. It gradually gets up to speed but theres a droning noice from the exhaust. It got serviced a month ago with new plugs but it sounds and feels like its running on 3 plugs.

Any help welcome

poor quality plugs?

NGK's and it only started today..........

If you didn't use NGK plugs then this could well be the problem.

EDIT: Sorry, didn't see your second post.

I had this problem, take the top inlet off and I bet one of your HT leads have been crushed.

Easily done by the look of it.

Who serviced it?

A guy close to us, and he also done the alternator. I had to get the AA out today due to a very bad connection.

[497adam]

sounds like could be leads, they can fracture when removed to change plugs if old

 

[JohnnyE]

I hope its that

If there is a Euro around you, just buy a set, got mine for £15, that will tell you if its them or not, may save yourself £30, if its not them, send them back!
