    Hi. I turned my car on to come home this week, and the spanner and engine fault light came on. The car went into limp mode and I had to crawl all the way home. I got up this morning, and the lights were off, and the car drove fine down the local garage. They ran diagnostics but didn't pick...

    So I've got a 2009 Insignia 2.0 with around 75k I've had the typical limpode under boost and a quick off and on again has sorted that. I've also had it stuck in limp mode and had a garage reset it. They said it was sticking turbo veins. Now it's in limp mode again and I have a permanent...
