    Welcome to the Forum Miranda.

    1) does your car idle higher than usual or has it not really changed?

    2) when your car was losing power, where the revs increasing?

    3) was there any additional smoke?

    4) is it Petrol, or diesel?

    Hopefully these questions will help us get you a few more answers!
