louisscale Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Got stranded on the M25 at the weekend when a spanner appeared on the dash and an engine malfunction message appeared on the screen. Power was gone but not undrivable so pulled into the services and called the RAC. The engine was revving itself and going a bit banannas. Had 4 error codes and the RAC guy was unable to find the problem. Managed to get home and book into the dealer. Took it out last night and everything seemed fine until a major loss of power that caused me to stop. Re-started and it was fine for a while before happening again. It is with the dealers now hopefully being fixed. Pray for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philf1 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 How many miles have you done? At least it's covered by warranty could have been worse Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louisscale Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 I asked the guy is there was anything I could do to prevent it in the future but apparently it is something that just happens. Couldn't find anything online when it happened so hopefully its just bad luck for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
