Hi Guys
Before i start let me say that i have a...
Renault Clio 2002
1.2
54000 miles on the clock
Today i went to drive away from work and do my 8 mile journey to my next job and i pulled away in 1st gear(everything ok) and when i put it in 2nd and started to slowly accelerate like i usually would there was no power, or not the usual power.
I could put my foot to the floor and it would not speed up quickly, it slowly increased in speed, the same for changing to 3rd gear and fourth gear, the speed is taking a long to to increase and pushing harder on the gas doesn't make it go faster in comparison to pushing just a little on the gas???
I'm at a loss what could be wrong, i know i should see a garage but does anyone know what could possible be wrong here? best case and worse case scenario so the garage dont try and rip me off?
This problem continued throughout my 8 mile journey, a real issue when i pull away from lights at a less than usual speed and take too long to get to 30
Many thanks
Tyrie

This is not a car that we have any info on in the US but you want to check things like the timing belt, assuming it has one.
