My engine goes into emergency operation mode when the engine management light (car with spanner) and the radiatior light come on simulatenously. This is not distance related, nor time related (happens at different places in my journey, and not the same duration after I start the engine), but always when the temperature guage seems to get to "normal". Emergency operation prevents the engine from over revving, and "cycles" the revs up and down, and you get no real acceleration.
I thought the problem was a thermostat (£95 from dealer, £6 on the internet) but they hooked up the diagnostics and tried to sell me a new fuel pump at nearly £3.5k fitted, and didnt guarantee this would fix the problem.
So.. does anyone want to buy an 02 plate Zafira with 107k miles on the clock, "as seen", with leather seats, and sat nav?
Offers on a postcard please!.
