picked her up on tuesday.....every third or fourth time i start her she cuts out every time i change gear/slow down at a junction??? and seems to drive really sluggish as though there is no power?
have noticed today if i turn on the igniton an wait for EML light to go out it doesnt seem to happen?
what is the EML light for?, and could whatever it relates to be the cause??
noted in the owners book on a diesel its a heated plug light and on petrol it's EML???

PLEASE help before I pull my hair out!!! :cry:
Oh yeh, can i take it back to the dealer about this fault?? I have 6months warranty but not sure if this would be covered?? :evil:

Get her booked for a diagnostic dude, your local dealer or E-Tech maybe ?

sounds like a fialed cam position sensor or air leak, its common for the breather pipe to split on these and cause ALL you're describing
