It is a ex rental that has been abused as my first car.

It goes into a "slow" mode were it feels like it has 20bhp. Normally i can get up to 60mph on motorway onramps. When it goes slow it barly reaches 50mph.

It goes so slow its unreal- outdragged by a moped...

If i stop the car and turn it off and back on - no waiting or anything - it goes back to normal for about 20 minutes then slow again?

Any advice for whats wrong?

Got new filters etc that im fitting tomorrow if its not freezing again.
