Whats going on
« on: 29 April 2008, 17:02:18 »
Hi everyone heres a strange one.  I was sat in a queue temp went to about 90-95 fans kick in, great.  On my way home it began to cough and splutter rev counter was going haywire engine management light came on, I turned it off, started it up drove for about a mile then it started again light came on again then it went into limp home mode.  Left it overnight now its running fine???? anyone any ideas.  Is the temp I mention normal its a 2 litre 16v estate 2000 model by the way.

Sounds like me last week.

I took 2 asprin and had a good nights sleep.

Did you put the Asprin in the radiator before it went to bed for the night.





Wouldnt it be great if we could fix cars this way
