Greetings, any advice would help.
Car has no warning lights, fuel economy is 48mpg but it seems to have a loss of power going uphill. For instance, on my way to work is Abbotsbury Hill, the top of the hill is 18% gradient, in my last car, 2.0 diesel 407, I could start the hill in 3rd, change up to 4th and still be accelerating as I hit the top. But in the 307cc I start in 3rd get three quarters of the way up and have to change down to 2nd, if I stay in 3rd, at the top I am doing 3000 revs and struggling to top 30mph which can be quite embarrassing if there are people behind me! Otherwise the car is fine on lesser gradients. Any ideas?
