it seems slower and couldnt get up hill on holiday, air filter is new
oil is ok

seems slower, losing water with no trace, dark water, me thinks head gasket, check the oil filler cap (black cap on top of engine far left) if u take it off and look at bottom of it see if you see any mayo style stuff there... defo sounds like head gasket though

expensive garage job i think unfortunately, at a guess about £200ish? (obviously dependant on the garage etc)
