When was the last time the fuel filter was changed? I would start with that. |

Thanks Rich. It needs a service. Last done March 15. I bought it in Nov 15. That's a good place to start I guess. I did feel it was fuel related. Hope it's not turbo related..... |

I had the same issue last week driving near Evesham after a 2 hour journey - felt like the rev limiter was cutting in and jolting the whole car whilst accelerating reasonably quickly. Hasn't happened since, and I've driven a few long journeys. Not sure why this happened, it was serviced 4000 miles ago (5 weeks ago!) |

Remember that the fuel filter is only changed every other service and the FL2 seems to be very sensitive to filter issues. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Thanks for your help on this. It seems it was a saturated air filter. I also am missing the non return valve at the base of the air filter box. Trying to source something to act as the rubber flap while the air filter dries on the radiator..... Any ideas? |
