cunners Member 141 Member For: 19y 2m Location: Perth Western Australia Posted 28/08/07 01:19 AM Share Posted 28/08/07 01:19 AM (edited) Hi EveryoneIt's been a while since I posted here last but I need your help guys.Just had my 90k service and last night I noticed that I had lost a lot of power and that there was an unusual hissing or fluttering sound after changing up gears.I'm not very mechanically minded unfortunately but could it be a loose hose or something??I'm on holiday and supposed to be going driving to Dunsbourough (about 3.5hrs south of Perth) and am now hesitant with this issue.Can anyone please shed some light before I get on the phone to Ford - even if it's so I look like I know what I'm talking about a little better.Thanks in advance Edited 28/08/07 01:20 AM by cunners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming this is my problem and will give the Ford spastics a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
