Bought a new to me 156 1.6 120 bhp tspark, got it for good price, the cars a bit rough and needs tidyed. I had a 147 120 bhp tspark before the 156 and i have to say the 147 felt miles ahead on speed are they a lot heavier?, my 156 doesnt seem to rev as quickly or freely! I have the dreaded 3rd gear crunch and the central locking wont say locked not sure what to start to look for with the central locking any ideas?, she has the noisy variator issue would this cause the engine to rev less freely?. Got the car for 400 with a full years mot so cant be bad to that at that price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the slowness - it could possibly be blocked air filter, MAF not working, blocked front cats, timing set incorrectly.. Basically a whole load of different potential problems. I would start by taking it into a specialist and getting it checked over for any potential issues. You don't say where you are based, if you are anywhere near Beds/Bucks/Herts feel free to drop in:
