Could be the fuel filter partialy blocked,if it has just been in the cold snap,I would look for water/ice in the fuel system to start with after a filter change.

what year? is it smoking lots?

Hi are the brakes binding. Take it for a drive go steady on the brakes pull over and feel centre of wheels. They should all be around the same temperature. Have the filters been changed as per schedule. Possible clutch slip injectors, pump or de-coke required. Try adding redex to your fuel may help Try the simple and cheapest options first:001_smile:

Yup try the fuel filter, mostlikely slight water content then freezing causing the problems.
