Honestly mate, people aren't joking. 35 in 4th gear up hill is asking alot. Your revs will probs be around 2k rpm, maybe less. Any car, no matter how much low end torque it has will struggle to pick up doing that. Shift down to third and you will have a little pick up at about 3k rpm. Shift down to second and your bang in the middle of your peak torque range at about 4.5k rpm and you will have power on tap.  :smiley:

The car will be more efficient driving in the correct gear rather than putting the engine under excess strain.

Sorry did also forget to say that when I had the MOT done last month the car is running rich and only just passed the emmisions test, and yes I had flushed the engine out and put good quality oil in as I always have done.
