holding back

[lenzo]

i have just bought a 182 sport having a few problems with it, seems to lag when it hits 4000rpm and holds back. any suggestions??

I'd start with a good service. Then go from there

I wouldn't. There's clearly something not right, get it on a fault code reader.

A service is never a bad thing, but it's hardly going to cure this is it?

To be fair Rob mate, I noticed something not unlike this and a service did do wonders.

I also then thought that the suspiciously cheap NGK plugs I bought on eBay were fakes which seems to be common (bizarrely)

After a service, mine was a different car.......

I would get it on a fault code reader as this should get to the bottom of it.

The plugs would be a good place to start as these struggle to do more than 30-40k before needing replacing (service schedule recomends every 72k) also lambda could be the cause but a fault reader would pick this up.
