I posted ages back about a silly friend of mine who owns the new shape Corsa. It's an '08 1.3 CDTi. 75000 miles now. At the time she'd done 60,000 and it hadn't even seen an oil change - she just "gave it a drink whenever the red light came on"
Anyway, its now refusing to rev beyond 3,000 unless dropped down a couple of gears to force it. Power is cut a few seconds after. A spanner lights up in the dashboard. And she reckons it wont go over 65 nor is happy on hills - but it keeps on going,
My hunch is wrecked turbo after not being serviced in so much mileage. But what else could it be if its still running?
