The hotter my 3.0 elite gets the more it seems to struggle with power and really cant get up steep hills, i have a burning smell and the previous owner has put vectra cam covers on, i'm a newbie on these engines and i don't know whether my erratic gearbox changes are linked to this or a separate issue any ideas please?

ok thanks mate still got the gearbox issue to sort, you think a full fluid change would help as it runs fine when cold and then crap when hot and thats when you can smell burnt oil too

he did mention that the cam covers were changed form a different model and now the oil filler cap is at the back on the left hand side, to be honest i paid a good price  for it, there are no warning light that have appeared though to think it was in limp mode

What are the exact symptoms?
High revving?
clunking?
noisy?

as i said earlier the first thing you notice is the burnt smell when hot, it struggled mostly from 3-4th gear wanted to go into 3rd too early when light on the throttle, uphill it would struggle and 3rd gear was noisy, by the end of the trip back it felt like it hardly had any power at all struggling from idle, but as i said this morning on a cold engine it drove fine round the block
