i have done a search on this and not really found what i was looking for and thought best to post.
when travelling along at about 100mph the power all of a sudden drops off, you can maintain your speed but you have no acceleration what so ever until you pull over turn it off and restart it then it is fine for a short while
has this happened to any one else? i have cleaned the MAFS in hope it may have been something to do with this but it hasnt helped at all

Take it to the dealer and have it hooked up to diagnostics. I can't imagine that it wouldn't be throwing a fault code.

Is it just in top gear at 100+ or do you get the same loss in the lower gears at the same revs? (i.e 6th/100, 5th/80, 4th/60....)
