   Seems to of happened since the cold weather arrived but got really bad today. Started driving let it warm up abit as usual. Accelerate and it sort of starts chugging and nearly coughing, if I keep my foot right down it will stay at same revs doing the same thing then will pick up and continue to next gear and it will do the same thing. I then need to drop a gear to get revs up to clear and continue. This still happens at correct running temp. Anyone got any ideas? My mate said maybe fuel filter?

   Sounds a bit like a coilpack but like your mate says could be fuel filter.
