last service?

yeah its better after that its just a flat spot in the revs its holding back quite abit its standard apart from a cone air filter , i,ve just fitted the performace exhaust and cat off my old car and its abit better but still not performing how it should my old escort with the same engine was alot quicker oh and its done 71000 and got service history and dont know if it changes if weather is diff as i`ve only had the car 2 days any idea`s on wot it could be would be a great help

2000rpm of lack of power is a bit more than a flat spot!

I would suggest (and is what I would do) to return the mods to standard and see if still the same.
