Now I have searched for Limp mode... there are loads of threads but nothing really discussed about it...! lol
I've had my Nav since 19th August... done around 1,700 miles... drove my mum and 2 friends PLUS 3 bikes from Surrey to Vauxhall on Sun morning so they could do that "skyride" bike thing in London. Went back to pick them up in the afternoon.... then went out around 6pm... so the Nav was hot all day...
Was on the M25 doing about 70-90mph for about 40 minutes... no problems... pulled off the M25 and drove for about 10 minutes on A roads and roundabouts. Went straight across a roundabout, pulled off in 3rd/4th gear and accellerated to about 3k revs.... engine died... engine malfunction light came on (solid - mild engine fault - still safe to drive). Then Nav entered limp mode... I managed to pull into a side road and turned the engine off, I read the book for a few minutes... then re-started the engine, and it was fine the rest of the evening.... however I did take it very easy (not going about 2k revs).
My dad's an ex-machanic and says this could be a serious fault with the rear engine seal, and a big job as they have to remove gearbox, clutch etc to get to it!!!
