Apart from excessive blacksmoke on hard acceleration, poor performance or increased fuel consumption are there any other symptoms to watch out for eg poor response at low revs under load or when climbing a very steep incline?
I've not noticed blacksmoke, and performance in general isn't noticeably down, just got increased fuel consumption and the issue of poor throttle response under load. An example being when going up a winedy steep hairpin set of bends she struggles around initially, nearly to the point of stalling, before then surging into life. Anyone else had this?

Thanks Guys. I know what you're saying re the gearbox, but it's like it in command shift 1st gear as well as Auto hence my thinking it's engine rather than gearbox related.
