	Changing the panel filter wouldn't do anything would it?

	It hasn't been serviced for a long time...probably over 10,000 miles maybe more

	maybe your air filter is clogged/fuel filter, how long since the last service, remember every 10,000 miles should be a service.

	I think something in the car is going....maybe the gear box! Has anyone had this go on them....It might just be due a damn good service! LOL

	it could be the heat as mentioned before. try using optimax like me... my car feels a sooooooo much smoother using that

	There is no real pattern at all.....apart from i have noticed that it is usually feels OK then if i hoof it somewhere or race something to 6,000 revs....then it will start feeling crap for a few days. I have to drive it carefully and then it seems ok for a bit....also filling her up with petrol can make it better....it feels crap when getting low on petrol. [Edited on 02-09-2003 by Macca_G]

	erm, does it go crap on hotter days?

	Sometimes it drives lovley, gear change is smooth, engine is quiet, pulls well, clutch is smooth....then it all goes crap for no reason... Gear change is jerky, engine is loud over 2000revs (Loud vibrating engine noise), clutch feels crap, Just doesn't feel as nice to drive.... Then it goes back to normal...usually feels good for a few days then bad for a few..... Could it be the oil? or maybe the clutch is going or maybe the gear box?....Anyone any ideas? :boggle: cheers!
