   As said a good service and go from there if you havent done it in a while. And i mean a good service not just change the oil.

    Check the filter on your induction kit to make sure its clean as this may not have been done at the last service anyway.
    
    Did the last service include spark plugs?
    If not, change them.

    also check all inlet hoses for cracks or perishing, probably also well worth having an emission check and see what your lambda is reading too

    Mine did this before. It was going into limp mode. It was horrible, when i put my foot down it didn't sound like the air filter was sucking or anything. My made plugged it in, but before we could see the codes he wiped it. There were loads aswell, I wish he didn't wipe them straight away.
    Anyway since then it hasn't gone back into it, this was in like November I think last year.
    So get it plugged in and see if there is any stored faults.
