2.0 running sluggish

[Madmax]

As above my car seems to be running sluggish & needs more throttle then i remember to pull away. Obviously only being 115bhp it's not going to be
a rocket but i'm sure it used to be much more smooth.

Not a lot of info for you, sorry. Could it be something as simple as plugs? Do i you reckon i should book it in for a mini service?

Also, where can i find the stock aerial that comes on the car? Ebay only has aftermarket ones it seems & don't really wanna pay dealer prices..

Cheers for looking

Cool, does this come under the diagnostic check as i was quoted £60? This sound ok?

Cheers.

In answer to your question it could be the plugs but i would really doubt it.

How many miles have thay done when was it last serviced?

[Madmax]

Twas last serviced at 120,000 i've done 5,000 ontop of that.

Brilliant, thank you so much.

So if it is the fault that you said, it'll come up with the code & any other problems that may occur?
Thanks again.

Yep it will give you a code - you then look in the book which comes with it and it will tell you the fault. Then you can fix the fault, and clear off the code using the reader

Should it come up clear or is there always a few things that get crop up? Is it in depth like checking sparkplugs & filters or will i need to check them myself?

Sorry for the questions..

Should be clear no codes unless you have a problem. It will pick up missfires etc - but as your was only serviced 5k ago should be fine. I would check filters and pipes to see of anything obvious
