Ok , my wife said last week when she pulled out onto main road after work her car was sluggish and lost power , i said to her it was probably cold but ill take a look .
Needless to say i didnt , anyway , other night some tit parked in front of my driveway while next door so i took the wifes car from round back .
I hang my head in shame now as i cannot describe how bad it is .
i think it is something simple like plugs or leads or air filter .
Heres the thing , i know naf all about modern engine bays . If you say thats broken and it needs changed , im your man , figuring out , not .
Tonight she came home and was stressed out about the constant lack of power so i took a look , just to make her think i knew what i was doing , i jiggled the leads and all seemed to be on ok . Tried to remove cover for air filter and couldnt get that of either . So swore at it couple of times. :hihi:hihi
Anyway im standing looking into engine bay , wishing it was an old ford , and i noticed , well i dunno what it is but i recognised it from the boxed item which has been kicking about the boot since we bought the car .
See picture
Now heres my question , firstly what is it ,
and secondly could it be related to my problem and , as it looks like it may be a pain in arse to get out could this be why it wasnt done when bought .
Thanks in advance ....Mark
