Driving home today just got on the motorway and went to overtake and i had power but not much of it atall
Slowed down but basically had no power between 2k/3k it was revving but not picking up speed,
Any ideas? And is it ok to drive?
Thanks

a revving engine, but no increase in speed is usually a sign of a failing clutch. i would get someone to test drive it for you to confirm though. you will also probably need a new dmf. (dual mass flywheel ). best not to drive it really, as then you will definately need the dmf, and it wont get better, only worse. expect a bill approaching a grand if i am correct in my online diagnosis, from your description of events.

Thanks for that but i actually let the car heat up on the drive and took it out the same night and it was fine.. very weird!

Next question :-)

Dropping through the gears from 3rd to 2nd sometimes it makes a really horrible noise, its not the clutch like sometimes you grind it but more a metal on metal squeak and it can do it quite loud too, is it me or can I do something to stop it?

Thanks
