Sorry if this is a daft question.

I've noticed that when i have any weight whether it be shopping in the boot or passengers in the back seat, the car feels planted on the ground and relay struggles to get going.

Hill starts are also an issue even with no extra weigh. (I will state that i weigh 14 stone before i get any get any fat jokes thrown my way haha). I had my foot to the floor on first gear and the car barely crawled up. I tried to park the car at my parents car park witch is on an incline and with 3 passengers would not make it up, the engine was making a grinding sound before i gave up.

Easy to check tbh...
Airbox off which is 2x 10mm bolts
If u get somebody to floor throttle the butterfly valve should go 90degree from shut
If cables slack u may be only be getting 70degree's opening itd make the car very lack luster

Any development with the car?
As new pads could be issue espically if they are sticking in place?

Sorry mate, I'm not getting the email notifications, still having the issue. garage says every thing looks as it should. Is it possible to stiffen the read suspension to the car doesn't drop as much with a passenger in the back I think this might be contributing to the issue
