Special Programmes Off
Good afternoon.
On a drive yesterday and during overtaking.... the Disco went into Limp Home... with “Special Programmes Off” flashing up on the dash.
I pulled over.... switch off and on them all was fine. Drove for another 4 hours with no issue... any ideas?? 🙄🤔
Should I be concerned?? 🙄🙄🙄

It would be prudent to have the codes read if only to confirm. If you had a filter change in the not too distant past then its unlikely to be the problem (unless of course it has a non genuine filter fitted)!yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

Yeah codes read
I was down your way the other day as well and had the GAP IID in the glove compartment
my first D4 did it 5 mins into trip to Italy ... couldn't pull up for about 20 mins due to roadworks but by that time my youngest had googled it ... advice was switch off for a couple of mins and restart. never repeated. .

Had the same last week. Switched off and it cleared and has not come back. Just went into limp mode no bongs. Suspect battery is on the way out!Once you have defeated the idiots any job is half done. Pity there are so many idiots to defeat.
