My son's mini has started to struggle to get above 50mph recently.
I took it out today and I had my foot flat to the floor, the mph was slowly going up. There was no chugging or anything it was just like it was accelerating in VERY slow motion.
I took it down a dual carriageway and on the way back it seemed to be OK but there is clearly something going wrong with it and I would ideally like to get this sorted before it starts to cost too much.
The car runs fine up until it gets to 50mph. I thought it might suddenly kick in but it doesn't. As I say, it does seem to be intermittent.
The baffles in the exhaust have gone recently but we are getting this fixed when we are away and leaving the car in the garage. Could this have something to do with it?
Could it be something as simple as fluid that needs replacing or could I be hit with a huge bill?
Any help would be appreciated in the hope that its not just quite yet ready for the scrap heap!
Thanks
