Default Help !!!

I've got a few problems on my car

First one when I have been driving the car for a while it holds back when I go to accerate and splutters and holds back it's just started doing it any ideas

Second one I have vented rear discs with single pot calipers are these the same with solid discs as my pads are knackered and need replacing but the discs are knackered aswell and I've got brand new solid discs and pads just wondering if they will fit

Cheers

Could be the dump valve! They can stick sometimes. Put a standard one back on and see if improves, much better than aftermarket units like the baileys!

If you don’t know much about the car, like if its been re-mapped or not it may be best to get a specialist to look at it for you. Might save you a lot of hassle & time!
