hello there, my car cut out yesterday, then struggled to start up again... i got it going but the revs at tick over went from 1200 too 700 and the car has now developed an engine rattle, a pretty loud one. the car sounds like an old diesel now. in some gears when i try accelerate the revs will reach 3000 then not get any higher then the car will start to stutter and lose revs:/



thanks for your time and help:)

i had a similar problem when i first got my 1.0 back in feb, around 40-60 mph the car would just slow down and loose power. i got the air flow meter changed and it was as it should. wont cost you a great deal if that is the problem.
