Got a 2003 TD5, 49K miles (due 48K service)
On way to work (about 30 miles so plenty of time to warm up) I just didn’t seem to have the usual "kick" when you get higher up the rev range, had to change down a gear or two going uphill… just generally sluggish and felt like it was lacking any real torque.
2nd journey at lunchtime, about 15 miles…. Same performance. I then managed to stall it, then straight after restarting, put foot down and it performed SIGNIFICANTLY better than it has for a few days.
No obvious black smoke, only other known prob is a thrust/spigot bush groaning first thing in the morning.
Any ideas where to start, or what to discount?
Everything still standard on it EGR/Cat/Map etc…
Cheers Gary
