Mmmmm,

Just parked up and everything was fine. Got in the car an hour later and both lights are on. Have called the AA but don't suppose they can do much and the manual is very generic here. Realise I should get it to a dealer ASAP to have a look at but does anyone know what the general issues are when these lights come on ?

Thanks in advance
Stephen

Steven, I had this once on my 4200 and it turned out I was running on vapour. Were you low on fuel?

'Slow Down' can come on when the cats get hot - often after spirited driving.

I'm assuming this is off a 3200. Whenever I got anything where the car just seemed to be being a bit 'sensitive', I would reset via battery isolation and only really get concerned if the light reappeared shortly after.

A call to a specialist should put your mind at rest. If you call a dealership, they will tell you that you must bring the car in otherwise it will never work again.
