no power

Post by woodmonkey »

just got back from cromer, when i started the van up it took a few goes to get going, then once it was going it had almost no power or response from accelerator( not great when the exit is uphill!!) once it warmed up it was better, and got us all the way home. just been out to try again, and the exact same thing :?
oh and it's a 2l Aircooled
