Cheers, I haven’t had the codes read yet, I was thinking about that today. My next call is to go back to the dealer I brought it from and have a difficult conversation with someone.

Hi. 2012 plate 1.6 diesel engine, less than 79000 on the clock. I brought this car in January when mine packed in, it was doing less than 2000 miles a year (MOT history), older driver and yes very cheap diesel being put in. The fault is this: The fuel warning light (glow plug light) coming on with a flashing light warning. I have had the tank flushed to get rid of the contaminated fuel (local garage, the guy is well respected man and doesn’t mess you around), new fuel filter. the filter housing had corrosion on it, that was been replaced as well after it happened again, again new fuel filter. This fault keeps coming back. When it happens warning light displays, normally a dip in power, feels like a miss fire, the engine will either not idle correctly, or will idle, but when you try and pull off you lose all power and the vehicle will stall out, unburnt diesel being chucked out the back of the exhaust, but ONLY, when this fault happens. Any ideas folks?
