Mine do the same 2 years ago: We started it in a cold morning (-1C) and start to wooble and the MIL coming up. We shutdown the car and startup again and all back to normal but the MIL continues.

Thinking in deliver it to the dealers inmediately to see what happens, we continue our trip to the girls school (in the way to the dealers). When we leave the girls and start up again the car the MIL dissapeared. So we continue using it as usual.

We comment it to the dealers in the next check but according to them everything appears normal but they ask that if the fault appears again they will take an action. The fault has not been repeated since that time Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

Cheers. Eduardo

1200hrs at a secret location in North Wiltshire we engage 4-wheel drive and traverse the off road byways of Salisbury Plain (a WWII training area and still in use by todays armed forces as a major military training ground). We then make our way on a journey towards Portsmouth, where we will board the overnight cross-channel ferry to Caen.

At Caen we visit Pegasus Bridge and its museum, followed by a coastal drive to Arromanches.

We will see the site of Easys battle as they entered the town on June 12 and the square from which General Maxwell Taylor presented awards to his men for their performance during the invasion. In the afternoon we head to an off-road centre and return to Arromanches early evening.

Overnight - Arromanches

A spot of bad diesel?

Add 200ml of two-stroke oil to your next tank and see if it makes a difference Thumbs Up

Thats what I thought Andrew, I'll drain the Filter when I get back ashore and check, stuck EGR was my other thought. I've got a couple of Blanks I'll take along. I'll drill em 19mm before I go. Original Member Pie n Pea Club.

Also check the water trap in the filter - in the rear left wheelarch. You can unscrew the lid at the bottom to let the water drain out.
