Vauxhall Combo Van Question
I have the above van. It's a 05 plate and a 1.3 version.
It's pretty gutless but as im not a speed freak, im not fussed at pottering along at 55/60.
However, if i ever accelerate hard-ish or uphill, a light comes on the dashboard and it cuts the van out. I take my foot off the gas, the light goes out and i carry on, although it feels very restricted. On the next trip, it seems to reset and go on as normal.
The light in question is a pic of a car with a spanner through it.
I've learned to deal with this but just wandered what it might be....it's like the van is restricted.
Any clues ?

It needs looking at, my handbook says you should go to a dealer and get it checked as soon as you see that light as it indicates an engine fault. A Vauxhall dealer will have the diagnostic computer that will tell them what the fault is. Some other garages may have the equipment but you need to phone and check first.
That van should do more than 55/60 something is wrong!
