    Hi all, any help/advice greatly received. My car keeps going into "Limited Performance". No engine management light just the words and the picture of the car with a spanner sticking out of the roof in the info display. No fault codes. I had thought EGR but I've just done two half hour drives...

    Hi All, So the clutch has started slipping in my 2008 9-3 Turbo X XWD after 66k miles. I get the feeling that a lot of the components for the 280BHP version were not up to the task of the performance model (for example, the car is on its 3rd steering pump, I think due to the load of the wider...
