My old Mk1 (93) 1,8 GLX needs nursing through the next three months before waving goodbye but it has suddenly has no power. Pulling away it takes an eternity to build up speed and going uphill is a severe struggle. It revs high but not much in return. Suggestions/ P.S. Plugs and leads and fuel filter OK.
