Default Power loss

Hi all, over the last week I have noticed that when accelerating at around the 4000rpm mark, I lose power for a couple of seconds, when the power kicks back in the revs drop back to 3000 ish then everything seems ok until next gear change and exactly the same happens. Any suggestions. I was thinking maybe dodgy spark plug

I've had this on a classic, no error codes, took the Scoob dealer three goes to find it: dodgy plug lead.

Probably damaged at plug change.

Irridium Plugs are wort the extra.

You notice quicker pick up and a couple more MPG unless, you use the little extra wumph!

Good Luck.
