182 broken down again

[regi james]

my car broke down again today loses all power at 2000 rpm so drove it to the local renault garages holding all the traffic up, luckily they had a courtesy car for me. f**king thing is it just mine is are they all just pieces of s**t?

Limp home mode. Usually some sort of Sensor/ Throttle fault. Rarely costs much to fix.

Lambda probs?

there is no lights on on the dashboard which i thought was strange?

Yup. Limp mode.

Normally a faulty TPS or TB.

I had exactly the same issue with the wiring loom. Went into limp mode, frustrating when you press the peddle and nothing happens!

Even worse when it does it when your half way round a roundabout.
