Hello
this happened slowly but now has got really bad. When I change gears and accelerate my car does not pick up speed, it over revs and picks up speed gradually.
In 2nd gear I have to rev at least over 25 mph to pick up a little speed.
Up hill it gets really bad. I can't even go on the motorway because it is not acellerating fast enough. A bus is able to travel faster from start.
Please help.
I put in about 2 litres of unleaded by mistake about 2 months before, but topped the tank with diesel.
Also ford reported that my car was leaking oil from the engine but they weren't sure where.
please help
