Because we're GOOD at taking the piss. We do it to everyone, including ourselves

How is it losing power? Is it slowing up, or misfiring, coughing, popping or banging?

Take it to your mechanic mate, there's not really anything we can suggest that won't be more technical than you're used to.

I don't want to ask you to do something to check it, just in case it causes damage.
