grahamc Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 yesterday I drove into work in the afternoon, and the whole trip the car felt very sluggish, difficult to drive and so on. I put it down to being cold and not being driven in the previous 2 days. Today, got home, decided to go shooting (archery) and again very sluggish when pulling off, but once up to speed all was fine. On the way back from archery today I figured out what the issue was........... A beer to who ever can get it right...
