Hi Paul,

I had the exact same thing happen to me about a year ago....only in 
1st or 2nd gear...
Similar thoughts about dirty fuel, but other members advised
that this is unlikely.

Mine turned out to be a fuel pipe split - just around the julilee
clip that secures the pipe to the top of the fuel pump!

Air was getting in I suppose, so I went in through the panel behind 
the spare wheel, exposed the fuel pump and piping, cut 1/2 inch off, 
checked the pipe due to its age (fine) and it was an instant cure!

I don't know why my problem was only in 1st and 2nd gear; and 
obviously it was horrendous going up very steep hills!

I hope it's as simple...! Good luck!
