have had the car a couple of months and the last few days have defo noticed a differance in how she is running/pulling away etc,so something isnt right

car has full history up to 50 000 miles but nothing since now on 100 000 last owner had it 5 yrs said it was serviced but never stamped book...urmmm ok ( car was cheap so was happy enough lol)
cam belt is to be done soon,i have oil and plugs to go in it

you cant feel it missfire or anything and no brakes sticking on anything

as for mpg still the same ...not very good lol
