Like me, Elle seems to be loosing power and energy!
Our 16 year old Swift Gazelle feels like she is loosing power. It might be my imagination, but it seems that I'm having to drop down the gears more, or I notice I am down to 3rd when before I got up the same hill in forth. She still poodles along at 70 on the motorway if requested but now my foots flat to the floor when before I'm sure I had a bit left if required. I have not loaded anything new, infact I have lightened her load quite a bit other than my bacon butties and beer stocks. No smoking exhaust, no noisy turbo and no loose carpet under the accelerator! She is due her yearly full service and MOT shortly but only done 5600 miles since the last one. Total mileage is around 58000.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks. Pete
