On my way home tonight I have lost power. 56 plate TX4 won't go above about 45mph. Doesn't rev like mad. Just seems to hit a wall. Sluggish changing gears and only seems to go 1st,2nd & 3rd. In park it'll rev up quite happily. Clutch, gearbox, crap in fuel line? any thoughts?

Turns out it's the fuel filter. New one fitted and 60 miles no problems. Fingers crossed.
