I have a 1.6 SXI and it has no go whatsoever
I was in a situation last night where i was on a Dual carriage way doing 60/70mph when this bellend from my area in a corsa 1.2 8V was so close i couldn't see his headlamps.
Me being me, I thought the best way to sort it was to put my foot down and pull in to the slow laneas soon as i could to let him pass. I droped from 5th to 4th and nothing substancial happened
It was to a degree that he carried on tailgaiting me while i was accelerating 
Also, my car Idles really low sometimes and tries to stall itself. It's anoying me now for a few reasons;
1) Fuel economy rarely goes over 20mpg
2) It tries to stall itself (as mentioned)
3) I got the car hoping it would be better on motorways for quick bursts than my corsa sport 1.4- seeing as it's much more expensive to insure 
4) It's proggressively getting worse
Any Ideas to what's wrong/ what can be done to sort it guys?

Sounds like you have a blockage, or your not getting any fuel something along those lines.
Blocked filter?
Misfiring?
Plugs tight, HT leads on correctly?

Had it serviced when I got it which was around 5 Months ago
-Dunno if fuel filter was changed (probably not)
--doesn't seem to be misfiring
-Coil pack seems ok, dunno about about plugs tbh
-I've usedfuel treatment to no avail
I want to avoid taking it to be Tech2'd to be honest- I'm not made of money

My conclusion: The 1.2 8v was in fact a valver

The lads corsa is an 8v because a similar situation rose when i had the corsa and there was no problems 
Plus he's put a turbo whistle on it

Thats why i miss my corsa
CAT seems fine because it failed an MOT a couple of years ago one emissions so it got a new one 
It could be an ECU problem but i can't afford to put it on tech2.
My astra is a 16v
