Hi guys and girls could anyone help the other night i doing 70ish down the motorway when all of a sudden she started to splutter and i lost power wouldn't go over 60mph for about 10 miles then it pickup again but about 10mins later it did it again so i parked her back up at home. And left it till the morning when i fired her up she threw out alot of blue smoke from the rear and when i drove her to work i could tell there was definatley some power loss and also noticed that the engine sound alot louder could say abit hollow sounding. Any ideas what it could be. Thanks for reading.

Mmmh... blue smoke means OIL... if the smoke appear slowly and increase by time is meaning something is wearing (EG valve gasket or piston rings (sorry for my english, don't know the correct translation :worship: ) ). If the smoke appear suddenly, something is broke.
Try to park the car on a downhill without the handbrake and see if the engine compression can maintain the car stopped. In alternative, go to a mechanic and try a compression test.

However... I thing you have broken une or more piston rings :(
