• Honda Accord Tourer (2003 - 2008) - 04 2.2 Acceleration problems 11 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  I had the exhaust manifold replaced (under warranty) by Honda and 3 months ago serviced by an independant including fuel filter. There have been issues with fuel pumps etc which I have read on here but the car seems normal generally, and starts fine its just when trying to accelerate hard. There are no issues in the first two gears making me think or hope that its not a clutch issue!

  car has developed problem when driving along she will loose all revs for a few seconds and return again fine. egr valve, inlet mainifold, swril aculators and fuel filter have all been replaced by vauxhall and the diagonis says shes all good. ive tryed two bottles of fuel flush but its still playing about. she is still a lively car and pulls 100% rite up the revs in every gear. my heart is broke now as she is doing it more often and espically when pulling out at junctions. also i never seem to be away from vauxhall with my wages.

• Subaru Legacy and Outback Petrol (2004 - 2009) - Lumpy running on regular unleaded 16 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  The user manual for Subaru Legacy 2.0 says that the car should run fine on regular unleaded (95) and it is only the turbos that need the premium fuel (98 or above). However I am finding that the performance of my non-turbo 2.0 r is brilliant with say Shell v-power but horribly lumpy with regular unleaded. Obviously I am paying throgh the nose for the premium fuel and would rather not if I could avoid it.
