Low on power
Had my 55 plate x5 in for a service wife drove it back and said it felt low on power. took it round the block tonight and it feels very slow. It's a 3.0 d sport no lights are on any suggestions could there be a pipe off or something?

Re: Low on power
Sounds like a vacuum hose is off. Common issue after a service as those hoses can get knocked. As has been suggested, check all the small pipes and hoses on the LHS of the engine area.
