Nissan X-Trail fuel problem - any ideas?

When stood at idle after about a minute I believe it goes into get you home mode or just has no power, once I turn engine of and start it back up it runs fine!

Well if it is going into "limp mode" then it is most likely that one of the many sensors is faulty.

It may be prudent to have a diagnostic check carried out in the first instance as this should then highlight which sensor is faulty.

Cost of the diagnostic should be around £50 to £70, but make sure that the garage has the latest equipment to do the check.

Excellent, honest vehicle, decent to drive on road and best in class off road. Better than original Freelander.
