Spoke too soon. Engine management light on car is now lit up, but performance not affected. Guess we will need to contact Mayday as unsure of driving vehicle?Taking into account my past experiences, please do not associate with me as it seems I am extremely unlucky. LOL!
Hope it's nothing serious. Sometimes I dread going out in my hi tech car because if it goes wrong there's no chance of fixing at the roadside and will cost a few body limbs or organs to fix in a garage.
Mayday came and cleared the issue, Not sure if a permanent fix or just temporary? Here is hoping as still another 10 days of holiday left. Weird fault code as something to do with fuel and a tank.
Not your fault - but mechanics clearing warning lights and sending you on your way without investigating the issue is a cop-out - the electronics found a fault and set the warning light on - the fault is still there and may come back to bite you, although I hope not.
On a friend's, 2008 VW Toureg, the fuel tank vent line was blocked and If he done long Motorway runs , that would bring on the Engine management light. Took ages to find.
The warning seem to indicate that sort of problem. There was no issue with the car when I parked it up the day before. It then sat in the hot sun for a couple of hours. On starting it the next morning, Engine Management Light came on.
You must have more “Something else has failed “ T shirts than the rest of is put together🤪
Sadly the vehicle has now gone into limp mode and can hardly get up even a slight incline. No issue yesterday when we drove to Newton Abbott. Now no chance of it towing a caravan. Local Jeep dealer in Exeter can only look at it in Sept so no good to us.
The response from Jeep Exeter makes the caravan industry look efficient. It will probably be a sensor somewhere but finding it and replacing it shouldn’t be a problem to a garage with decent diagnostics. Are there any Jeep independents within range? Otherwise good luck with Mayday in transferring you between sites and then back home.Sadly the vehicle has now gone into limp mode and can hardly get up even a slight incline.

We are booked onto the current site until Sunday when we are supposed to go to Back of Beyond until the following Sunday. Not sure if Mayday would be willing to take us to Back of Beyond and then collect us a week later to take us home.
First long holiday we have had since OH was released from hospital and now everything is going pear shape.
The dealer has one service area for all the different makes of cars as don't solely deal with Jeep. No idea of any Indy's local who can do a repair.

Thanks for the offer and woudl be grateful for any advice. We are closer to Paignton. Had a long chat with Mayday and they are sending a technician who will check the vehicle again and then make a decision about uplifting and also whether a local garage can do it tomorrow. Somehow I doubt it. probably stand a better chance if they uplift us to Christchurch as then a week to sort out the issue. If not, then it is home for us.
Wonder if with that info Jeep technical might be able to help, or possibly Jeep Forums. Alternatively your own dealer might be able to cast light on it.
Thanks. There is a possibility that it has something to do with the Adblue system, but unsure. The Jeep technician at our dealer is away until about 15th July.
Thanks, but unfortunately crawling under a car is not my thing anymore. I did try and look for any chaffed wires, but not really sure what to look for and where to look?
If you have Mayday Premium UK, don't you get a hire car for 72 hours. Whilst they try and repair your car.
They have offered us the hire car, but for the trip home and not to drive around for the 3 days. We have accepted this offer, but would like something in the meantime as nothing within walking distance for us. Tried Enterprise but fully booked. Still searching.
Is there a car hire place within a reasonable taxi ride? Is there Uber in them parts?
Lucky devil, at least that aspect should work out okay for you. đź‘Ť
