Low on power
Low on power
Had my 55 plate x5 in for a service wife drove it back and said it felt low on power. took it round the block tonight and it feels very slow. It's a 3.0 d sport no lights are on any suggestions could there be a pipe off or something?

Re: Low on power
Sounds like a vacuum hose is off. Common issue after a service as those hoses can get knocked. As has been suggested, check all the small pipes and hoses on the LHS of the engine area.
Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.
