When was the last time you changed the plugs and lead's?

Use a good qualiy fuel too such as Shell, don't bother with Optimax, the normal Unleaded is good enough for your 1.2 - They all contain cleaning agents.

Best thing to do is to remove excess weight, spare tyre etc. No point spending money tuning it mate.
