Morrisons fuel did get a bad rep a few years ago - they were adding a lot more of the Bio content than the main stream fuel brands.

So started the car this afternoon (2011 td4 45k) and got an odd judder as the car tried to start. Once running got the engine management light on and reduced engine performance warning.

Thanks - I'm not confident fishing around in there so I'll leave it until someone who knows what they are doing can look. Although a friend may be able to find his code reader which would be helpful. Learned to drive in 2011.

No idea about your problem but the LR assist guy said that a faulty egr valve can give a bad start followed by the restricted performance message? Pita things but can't, apparently, be removed now unlike on previous versions |

Whatever it is I hope it isn't too costly to fix. Days like this when I wished I'd renewed the extended warranty again. Learned to drive in 2011.

Apparently a "pressure differential" on the exhaust system. Suggest it could be a sensor, crack in a pipe somewhere or the exhaust itself. Will need to dismantle a wee bit to find out apparently.

Do you do lots of short runs ? How many miles ?

Recently yes it has all been short runs. I was assuming no DPF issues as I thought it would error with a proper DPF error. Learned to drive in 2011.

If you can get enough revs I would boot it down a Motorway and back for 50 miles asap and run her up through the revs getting to max speed a few times. May not work but its a cheap option to start with. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Too late as I've already left it at the garage. Learned to drive in 2011.
