About 2k miles ago my engine warning light came on after the engine lost power, called out the RAC, and the guy reset the fault, I drove home with no problems.
Then last week it happened again, this time I got the car recovered as the dealer said they could do nothing unless the fault was still in the computer.
At first they said they could find nothing wrong, I insisted they do something as the car was useless as it was. Their senior tech eventually said that there was an known issue with the changeover valve for supercharger/turbo.
So they replaced it, after an argument they also changed the O2 sensor, as this is what the diagnostics said had failed.
Lets see what happens next. It is like playing russian roulette planning on going anywhere now.
