   hey guys i have a mk1 saxo 1.1i 1998 r reg,
   
   just got it on sunday, when driving home i stopped at traffic lights, when pulling away i had no power, car was stuttering, pulled over, 5 mins later it was fine,
   
   done it again yesterday morning, but not as bad
   
   fitted new plugs and air filter, this morning when trying to start it took forever to start, and again at half 4 leaving work took ages to start aswell, theres plenty power when its trying to start, had the battery tested at halfords and it had 67% health
   
   any ideas guys?? ive also put redex in to see if it helps, anything else i can do to it??
   
   thanks for reading

   a flat head screw driver and 2 mins mate really easy.
   
   Under the passenger rear in front of the wheel you'll see the old one, use the screw driver to push in the little clips in the lines which will release the filter. Put your new one in place and push the lines back on and job done.
