My car is stuck in Limp mode and I am at a loss as to why. Gonna have to take it to a dealers for a diagnostic but just wanted to check if I'm damaging the car still driving it? Cheers.

A dealer will charge you far too much for a diagnostic when you can buy a code reader for a fraction of that cost (that you can use again and again)

Limp mode is short for "limp home mode" - it is a mode the car goes into in an emergency so you can "limp home" - its not really meant to be run like that permenantly - its difficult to say if running it like that does any permenant damage or not - it may depend what the actual problem is / one fault may have "knock on effects" / cause other faults on a short or long term basis
