sounds like you might have a shitty tank of fuel? if it's not been doing this long, it might be that! for it only to be doing it when driving normally this may be an explanation?
but yeah tell the garage what's been happening and see what they say/do

Re: Re: Hesitation
If you're happy with the ignition leads and plugs
Things that improved a flat spot on my 1.2 at precisely 1800rpm were:-
Make sure your air filter is good. Sounds obvious but difficult to see if it's clogged on 1.2 as there's a black sponge on top of the filter. Change it if you're not sure and reset your ECU by disconnecting the battery negative lead overnight. Drive normally afterwards to let the ECU relearn the best engine settings. ECU will take a while to learn, mine was 4 tankfuls! SLow learner!
Next go for the lambda sensor. Quite cheap and easy to replace, reset ECU again afterwards.
Let us know how you get on

Why not replace the airfilter? You can't clean paper ones.

OK, if its sucking in warm air from the engine bay then that could be causing the problems.

Well i had my car serviced yesterday and a few niggly jobs cost me £141. Two of the mechanics took it on test drive and there verdict was 'its as flat as a fart' they sed they had a 1.0 corsa in the garage with more go in it.So ive gota take it back and get it put on the diagnostics machine which will cost me another 35quid!!!Calling all people with 1.2 16v it surely has more go than a 1.0 corsa???

- 1.2 16V Bravo Owner -
Errrr, yeah. Mine has just about more go than a 1.4 SRi Corsa
1.0 - lol. Your Bravo should leave it standing :/
3 cylinder 12v engines sound like bloody sewing machines on steds.

Well.. it kind of depends.
My mods are as follows:
Stainles Steel Air Filter
Straight through exhaust / De-cat / Only single SS backbox
ECU Angeltuning remap
Short Ratio Punto gearbox
With 15's on I could get 0-60 time of around 10.5 seconds and it would go right upto about 115mph @ 6,500rpm
With 17's it's a tad slower, around a 11.5s 0-60 time and tops out at 105mph @ 6,000rpm
