Just bought one and i love it, however the acceleration has some dreadfull flatspots. In second gear between 3-4000rpm there is quite a lag which then picks up and accelerates smoothly. In third gear the same thing happens between 3.5-4.5000 rpm, Fourth gear accelerates smoothly throughout and fifth is fine. Could this be something to do with the valves ?? By the way the exhaust is blowing slightly, could this be a cause ?? Is this a common thing and easy to resolve ? The car has been immaculately maintained and has only covered 108k. Thanks everyone
