Hi,I just bought a 1999 'T' reg GLS 2.5 Turbo deisel autoon Sunday. The car drove great on the test drive and all seemed OK, but when I was driving it home I noticed:
1) the temeperature guage did not move up very high, and the heater seemed slow to warm up
2) the red light on the temperature guage came on
3) After a few miles, the car was very low on power (I stuggled to keep up to 30mph). It does seem tobe losing water but I can't see wherre (no waterin the oil by the looksof things)
4) When I stopped the car was OK again for a bit then lostpower.
It is fine for a couple of miles when driven from cold,its when its warmed up the problems start.
Took it to a local garage yesterday and they said they couldn't diagnose the problem, thought it might be a head hasket but not sure.
Any suggestions and ideas most gratefully received! I think I have just bought a lemon!
