You could try resetting the ECU. Just leave the battery disconnected overnight. Once re-connected, run it idle for 30mins then drive it normally but gently. After after 300miles it should fix it itself (assuming the ECU is the problem).
Good luck,

Hi, Well thats worth trying, i will give it a go and see what happens, any other ideas welcome.
300 Miles!! That explains it.
I reset mine about 50 miles before heading to France. I don't know if the reset is supposed to work on the 1.6, but it seemed to give more flexibiity and I could definitely climb hills in 5th that had needed 4th before.
Trouble is, after two weeks of keeping up with French drivers on the motorways, I've now found it's as sluggish as ever.
Should I need to keep resetting it, or should once be enough?

You really need to drive sensibly for 300 miles. If you thrash it then the car will set itself up for constant high rev driving and will feel sluggish on lower revs.
One reset should be enough if you keep to the 300 mile rule.
