Yesterday I bought a 2003 406 2.0 litre 110bhp Diesel estate in Oxfordshire- drove it back to London no problems and yet this morning it threw up the engine diagnostics warning light after about 3 miles and has not gone out all day.It's doing less than 25 mpg today ,when I was expecting at least 40 when driving on the motorway.I'm very worried as it's my work vehicle and must be running 24/7 and in a normal manner not drinking fuel like it is.At one point it seemed to stop revving over 3,000 rpm as if a limiter had cut in.Can anyone please suggest what to do?Money is limited and I'm not too mechanically minded-but can follow instructions.As my name suggests I help injured/sick animals and really need a reliable wagon to move them to the vets,and had gone to my limit budgetwise buying a suitable one,so I'm really in deep doo doo if I can't sort this problem quickly and cheaply.THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELPFULL ADVICE.
