As per ttitle....i'm not saying its hampering my luck with the ladies :o...but instead the car seems to have completely lost power when you try and accelerate ,it starts on the button and ticks over cleanly though.

In the past year it has had a new clutch ,recon'd the cooling system...(radiator/thermostat/sensor)etc skimmed and tested the head ,new cambelt ,new head gasket ,new dizzy ,new sparks (friend is a mechanic) been omn computer with no obvious issues....:1zhelp:

So has anyone experienced this or got any suggestions....the next thing we are going to try is resetting the cam belt in case this has slipped a notch...but if any one has any simpler suggestions would be really grateful!!!

I had a 1.6.. nippy to say the least.. i found that a K & N air filter helps also i had a full exhaust system fitted. and if you want to go all out get it de-catted
