It was a speedhump on an industrial site.....I underestimated the length of time it'd take to reach the redline!

Yup there is indeed. Dangerously laggy atm as I cant get a quick pull away from junctions/roundabouts etc. And uphill underload it just looses speed as theres no low down power, and brings on the engine elctrics light (a car with a spanner...which I assumed was the service light lol, damn confusing Vx!).
Its brought up a fault code of 'intake air leak' which is nice and vauge but atleast it's a start. Gonna try cleaning the boost (MAP) sensor, check the EGR and part blank it (although it was new last year), check vacuum and boost hoses for tightness and leaks and hope one of those fixes it. If not, I hope it isn't the dreaded swirlflaps....it'll be up for sale if it is that lol.
