Hi all, I'm pretty new here and I'm in need of some desperate help.
Ive just been driving my P reg slk230k and it was really really sluggish. I was struggling to get it over 40mph, this was really worrying as it's normally a flying machine. I then had to slow down at a round and it started shaking and I had real difficulty pulling away again - this has happened twice in teh past two weeks but I just put it down to being cold. The sluggishness has never happened before though. I managed to get it up to 50 but that was a real struggle. I then pulled into a car park to ring my boyfreind in a complete panic. I switched the engine off and when I pulled away everything was fine, I went thru a 30 zone, 50 zone and 60mph and back to a 30 zone and back to teh office, without any problems whatsoever.
Does anyone have any ideas of what coudl be going wrong? Gearbox fluid? gears slipping? something on the engine?
