Thank you. I forgot to mention, once stopped and shut down, fault disappears on startup. 

Hi all,

First post, will do my best. Just purchased a 2009 x type estate. It's a 2.2 auto and has a hell of a fault.

Firstly, it doesnt idle smoothly, it sort of hunts when standing and it doesnt go away even when warm. Secondly, the car goes in to limp mode or stalls when i gently accelerate anywhere around 70mph. I did a few test of gentle or harsh acceleration to see if there was a difference. Under heavy acceleration it performs great, but if i go steady towards 70, then try to go past that range, the glow plug light flashes, engine warning light comes on and "transmission fault" message is shown.

I found a thread on here showing a similar problem that turned out to be the turbo actuator.

So far, i'm putting the hunting down to egr valve?

Thoughts?
