UK MB ur-q can't go up hills

["Duff, Ian" <IDuff@charter.com>]

Is it angle-induced? You mentioned going up hills, even gently, could it
be some kind of slight fuel blockage or intermittent short that only
shows up when the car is inclined (meaning tipped up at the front, not
meaning willing)? Is it happy to redline in second up a hill?

	By-the-by, John Robinson came over today in his MB.  He has a
most
	curious problem - it won't get to redline in third up a modest
hill.
	It passes the standard third gear boost and acceleration test,
but at
	around 5000-5200 rpm it starts to slow down markedly.  It
_crawls_
	to 6000, and won't go above it even on a gentle uphill.
