  1. UPDATE Hi guys, so he plot thickens! I deleted all of the error codes, I then reset the adaptations again and got it to relearn the "stop dogs"? It then started normally and ran ok. I checked all of the realtime data on my diagnostics and nothing looked untoward. Switched it on and off a few times and then took it for a run for a couple of miles. It ran perfectly and still is? I am really confused now, as it will probably go again and I still have no idea what the issue is.
  2. Hi, it's the 2.0 litre petrol. I have changed the plugs and coil packs already. The erratic idle goes up and down quite dramtically. This issue came out of the blue . Initially the error codes appeared to be random (see first post). When I Googled them,one was related to an oxygen sensor, one was related to signal from the alternator , one was the throttle potentiometer and one was the throttle actuator. I'm completely baffled. Thanks Dave
  3. Thanks guys, the car starts but idles erractically and won't rev over 3 thousand. Initially I cleared the codes and it ran ok for about 5 miles. When I restarted it the next day the codes were back. Now, when I erase them they come straight back! Dave
  4. Thanks, I'll give that a try tomorrow.
  5. When it was not in limp mode the throttle was ok, but it is now back in limp mode and the idle is going up and down?
  6. Disconnected the battery for half an hour, made no difference at all, but car is back in limp mode!!!
  7. So I used my diagnostic software to reset the "adaptations" (whatever they are!) and the car is no longer in limp mode, but the engine light is still on and the car is no still throwing the error codes?
  8. Hi Guys, thanks for the advice. I have tried to reset the throttle, but nothing appear to happen. I tested the battery. When car is running it says 14.2v. When stopped it says 12.7v. Still in limp mode! Any other ideas? Thanks
  9. Thanks, how do I reset the throttle and check the alternator output. I tried to use the "secret" menu on the dash to check the voltage, but it won't work!
  10. Hi guys, I wonder if anybody can help? My Daughter has a 2005 Series 1. It recently went into "limp mode" and a big orange engine light came on. I have run it through diagnostics and it has thrown the following error codes: 2CF3 2CF1 2D07 P1637 P110d They all appear to be related to the throttle. Could anybody give me some advice. Much appreciated. I need to get her back on the road as she's using my car! Thanks Dave
