Just wondering how much a rubbish air filter can affect the cars performance? :?

Quiet a bit, also the location of the filter plays a big part too.

Yogurt?

New filter element can help the car and it's cheap from Fleabay.

Could be binding brakes, valve clearances, loads of stuff really.

I don't know where to start......maybe I should just get it looked at by someone who knows what they're doing.

Do you have an induction kit fitted? Or just the standard airbox?
