my transit as lost power its runs but will not go over 40mph?

i had the same prob ,took it to my mate who stuck it on the diagnostics computer and didn't come up with anything so i went home & thats when the temp needle shot up for a second ,my water was low low low so top it right up & all was fine after that .It was the on board computer stopping it getting any engine damage

on the new shape transits the pipe jubilee cliped to turbo disconnects ,or the accelerator pedal sensor if its fly by wire needs replacing ,these are 2 problems ive came across on ford transits. it could be lots of reasons even the caytlitic convertor on exhaust can block up and cause loss of power especially up hill.hope this helps.
