or oil filter

give us an idea when it's loosing power etc, all the time? only when cold? etc etc

assuming no nasty noises, or excess boost sounds (ie leaking turbo hosing) it's hard to say without more info

Thank you to Zocko and Golgarth for your information. It's losing power from cold and build up. From standstill I have no power at all, sometimes even when it's warm, particularly on a build-up of acceleration.

is it a manual or auto?

is the clutch slipping or is it something else?

it might be worth fluid changes in the boxes and diffs?

Ok, have you checked the fuel and air filters? (When i say check, i mean clean or replace), does it start ok? Is the parking brake sticking on? is it ok when it warms up? is there any black or grey smoke from the exhaust under load? any whistling or whooshing noises? does it run smooth or lumpy when idling? does it reach max RPM? Is it in-direct injection? does it have glow plugs? are they coming on? they might not be staying on long enough? cheers

Hello
Thanks for all your help but this issue has been resolved tt was the Mass Airflow Sensor which was faulty.
Many thanks Roy
