I was on my way to work this morning when i went to accelerate i had little power. i struggled to keep to 70mph. when trying to accelerate it felt like there was no turbo, very sluggish. no warning lights came on and there was no smoke. when i got to work i turned the car off and looked under the bonnet to see if there was anything obvious but i couldnt find anything. i started the car up and took it round the block only to find it was back to normal again.
anyone got any ideas what this could have been??

Sounds like the car went into limp mode, it doesnt always put the engine management light on. Jst have to see how it goes, might be a sensor or something. If it happens again you'd be better off getting the car plugged in to have an error codes read, it will still throw up a code even though no lights come up on the dash.
