    Glow plugs gorgeous?

    I have/had a similar transient problem with mine. When it starts, the engine management light comes on, and it loses just about all power (2 litre - feels like a lawnmower) and refuses to go faster than 3,000 revs. When you sit at the side of the road with the engine off for about a minute, the problem "clears itself". The cynical side of me says "Just like rebooting the engine management computer...".

    Has only happened twice in 2 years, but always in rush hour... :eek:
