Hi curlygirl,

I have been after a decent Vito for ages and found one 4 years ago with genuine low mileage and has been great until late last year, First I had an issue with limp mode (not me the vito ) eventually sorted that and now last night on my way to work I had exactly the same problem as you have described above. The only thing that you didnt mention that happened to me was recently I have had an issue with the brake warning light coming on and going off sometimes 10+ times a day sometimes nothing for days this is next to the EDC warning light on dash display even though the brakes have been inspected without faults found. I noticed that you posted this on 19.05/2012 and was wondering if you had solved this problem or just given up ? Please feel free to contact me direct on john.wenn@sky.com

Thanks

John
