Hi all, yes I'm a newbie, not to forums but to this one yes.
Recently bought my first jag having owned mercs and saabs in the main and i do like it but today, i hate it !
Its a 2008 2.7d with 70k on it. When I bought it it had only about 200 miles since service and mot in march. I have put abot 250m on it.
Drove to work today and after a mile the rp triangle kept flickering on and off, csr was driving fine and it cleared.
Coming home again a mile in same thing then eml came on. And has stayed on, won't clear after three re starts. The rp light flickered on then went off.
Now I was low on fuel yesterday and put bp ultimate diesel in it. Not saying that's it but I'm a bit stuck. Any ideas ?

Callan, before we can provide some useful information, we ask that you get the codes read on the car. This will give us a starting point as to what is wrong with the car. Your problem could be something as simple as bad fuel, but could be a high pressure fuel pump, failing MAF sensor, etc. Once you get the code(s), post them here (just the letter and 4 digits). I say to only give us the 5 character code as some readers do not give the correct interpretation of the code as it relates to a Jag and I would hate to start off with people being misled.
