lack of power when cold

I have just bought a Navara with 95k on a 59 plate however I have noticed that when cold the car struggles to rev up and pull away, it feels like it wants to stall and if you are doing big steering changes the steering wheel goes heavy. It fires up first time and never stalls and you can pull away but it is very week until it finally builds up revs. The engine revs freely until it is under load. Any advice would be really appreciated.

Cheers

You still have the rights under the Sale of Goods Act. The truck has to be in a roadworthy condition, if it is likely to stall at junctions it is hardly safe.

The good news it is it should be a reasonably straightforward fix.

Follow, this to keep costs down;

New fuel filter (assuming the garage omitted it in their service which is highly likely)

New air filter as above.

Clean the MAF

Reset the ECU, reading any fault codes

If you still have the symptoms a new SCV/QCV will be required ( costs about ÂŁ120, make sure you get the right one for your truck)

Good luck
