I have a 53 plate TDCI that I thought was a 130bhp, when I was renewing my insurance and entered the reg number of my car it gave me the option of both. How can I confirm what model mine is? It has a 5 speed box if that's of relevance?
Also lately it feels down on power at motorway speeds, any ideas?

Checked the sticker and it's a 130, why does it only have a 5 speed box then? Anyone any idea why it feels down on power at motorway speed? It feels fine about town/ low revs but when you get past 2500rpm it feels sluggish

My 130 had a 5 speed box. Loads of them do.
Could be any number of reasons why it's down on power. Give it a service (including a Ford/Delphi fuel filter and not a pattern one) and see if it's any different. Get the fault codes read to see if there are any codes, and consider blanking of the EGR temporarily to see if it makes a difference.
Has it ever had replacement injectors?

Found out why I had a lack of power. It was a split in the egr to intercooler hose. My local stealer was wanting £75 plus VAT. I got a silicone one from Derby Performance Hose, plus the 2 uprated hose clamps for under £30 delivered. http://www.dphsiliconehose.co.uk/ind...product_id=245
I reckon the split has been like that since I got the car and has just kept getting worse as I've drove it as it's never felt as quick as it does now & my MPG is a lot better too.
