Hi David, I have heard a complaint from somewhere in the past that the ECU responds to the information from a sensor rather than a problem in the engine -- which it is supposed to do. The conclusion must be, that if the engine is running properly,then the sensor is unable to send the right message because the sensor itself is faulty. I had an issue yesterday with the oil in my 2.7 D engine. The dipstick was saying that there was too much oil. My mechanic checked it out, took out some oil, dipped the oil again and found that there was an indication that there was still too much oil in, when we knew that there wasn't. There was no water in the oil,either. We concluded that the dipstick design, which is rather curious was dragging up oil when it was being taken out, and so giving a false reading. Regards, Peter.

Welcome to the Club, Muhammad. I am afraid that I have not experienced that Dashboard message, but on the other hand I have not experienced travelling at 100mph either, with national speed limit of 70 mph in the UK. I guess your S Type has a 4.2 litre supercharged engine which could all be going into top gear when driven at 100mph and it could be a slight jerk from the gearbox. I am slightly tempted to take my S type out onto the local dual carriageway and give it a bit of a power and see if it happens to me, but the speed cameras and the local police take a dim view of exceeding the speed limits. Regards, Peter.
