just got back from holiday towing caravan with2.2 cdxdti saloon. the car towed great until i started to overtake HGV. I changed down to fourth and to my alarm the engine died and the emmisions light came on.I managed to pull over and turned off the ignition. the car restarted again, no problem, and off we went again.Again, every thing was fine until the next incline when the engine died again when i changed down.It seemed, when under pressure, the emissions light would come on and engine went off! This happened five times on our journey (wigan to taunton). the car drove fine without the caravan.the caravan is roughly 85% of the kerbweight of car so that should not be a problem. has anyone any ideas before i cough up at garage?
