no fault code, but they deduced that the radiator was full of mud, causing the engine to turn off due to it thinking it was over heating, even though it wasn't, they replaced the thermostat, just before finding the radiator and the mud and blamed that, even though that was there for 18months prior
So i think it was a faulty thermostat, and nothing to do with the mud
If the radiator is full - and I mean down to 10% the car will go into limp home mode. On the auto the gearbox will also sulk as the oil needs the "engine radiator " for cooling. This is with the intercooler completely blocked with mud, and the air-con radiator also blocked.
Cost two new rads and a lot of the intercooler cleaning Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner
