i have hesitation under foot-to-the-floor accelleration, its acutally better for me not to floor it, as it seems to run okay to then. its not undrivable, its just a bit annoying when you go through the box and it sort of peters out intermittanly after 4k. it is accentuated when i use super plus, and it didnt do it when i had a car full of people. its done 145k with pretty much specialist history. could it just need an oil change? its about due for one i think.

i have checked the spark plugs and they were pretty much new but since i'd bought them they got replaced anyways. what else could it be? AFM? i did give it a good spray of injector cleaner but that was before i saw the "how to" to do it. failing that doesnt work, what else could it be? some large expensive part?
