Just introduced myself as a newbie. I mentioned an occasional problem I've had with my 2010 CRD Touring: ignition switching off when I'm travelling, cutting all power to braking and steering. Known issue for recall in North America but not in Europe. Anyone had same problem?

I am in the UK and sometimes when I turned the key to start it would not turn over. Remove key try again and it would work. New crank sensor improved  the issue but probably once a week it would not crank over in start position. It had the ignition module recall in January and 2 new keys all free of charge on a 59 plate. Now its perfect starts every time.

Fault came back ended up with new E.G.R. valve being fitted to fix it not too bad at £437 all in!

Why would you want to ?

You can get a 300C badge that fits over it if you want to!

Turned out to be a stored fault code from the EGR valve dealer says I need to give her a good run.

I have a 15,000 mile 2009 plate 300C and have had it for almost 2 years. The EML light came on about a year ago and this was fixed by replacing a faulty crank position sensor. 

The car has been stood for about a week and when I came to start it up it ran really rough as though on 4 or 5 cylinders. It started to improve after a minute or so but when I drove off the EML light came on and it was in limp mode with a maximum speed of 40 mph or so. After a couple of minutes the ETC red warning light started flashing.

Removing the key and re-starting sometimes makes it drive normally for a short distance then EML & ETC lights come on again.

What is the likely cause of these fault codes?
