I've used them a few times and they were good, just not handy for my work if dropping the car off.

An EML is not an MOT failure. It is a common belief that it is but the car will pass with it on. It will not pass with ABS, ESP or airbag light on. Send her on

Now you tell me 

After rushing home early from work and totally stripping & cleaning my EGR (including the solenoid) I flew up to my mechanic to clear the fault. Knew the EGR was going to be the problem seeing the amount of crud that came out of it. Cleared the fault ...happy days drove to the MOT centre without having time to get a power hose under her

The b^$t4rd failed me on a pitted brake pipe and another which wasnt clean enough for inspection ...... just my luck eh!

Just noticed today when I put my foot on the accelerator, I don't have the same power as before. I can also hear the engine revving (while just cruising as normal) as though I have my foot to the floor.

Thoughts anyone?

If she is in neutral, this is perfectly normal.

Nope, it happens when shifting up through the gears. From 3rd in particular

For the first part I would have said a slipping clutch as same happened me in am old car years ago. Dunno though.

Mine was doing that few weeks back as in not giving any power etc when trying to move up the gears even when had my foot to the floor on accelerator. There was a whirring noise from my engine. It was the turbo gone.

Sounds familiar. What was the damage/cost/result?

Sounds like a slipping clutch. What type of car is it and what mileage? If it has a dual mass flywheel you might need it too. Could run into right money😕

The clutch was gone on mine also from December and  the DMF i never got it fixed until last week and drove away at it.

I never had any noise from my engine or any problem accelerating whilst my clutch and dmf was gone.

Only experienced the loss of power/whirring noise from engine when the Turbo was gone.  Ended up getting all fixed at the one time. Got second hand turbo for £150/190 i cant remember now.

The clutch was jammed and hanging by a thread also but alls fixed now thank god
