Car switches on fine. Idles as normal. Engaging first gear is fine. But pulling away, the car lags at 1000 - 2000 revs slowly creeping up to 3000 revs when there is a bit of a bite and a pull. The same in second gear ... and third though....giving me a top end speed of no more than 35! Any advice would be greatly appreciated... Cheers, dave

If this has turbo then I would check the turbo for a seized turbine. If turbine is seized up it will act like a plugged up exhaust. Hope the info helps you out.
