Help! Problems started with infrequent engine cutting out in traffic jams. This was followed by a regular flat battery after three days inactivity, but that seemed to have cured itself, then the engine started to go into limp mode and needed tickling the accelerator or stopping and restarting to recover. But now's the big one - the engine dies after about a mile. Immediately restarts after stopping and switching off, then dies again after 300 metres. A brake warning message is permanently on the DIM. Any suggestions?

Possibily something on the high speed canbus or the CEM but as Kingsford has suggested its best to get the codes read :-)

Could be a good idea to get the battery & alternator tested if the codes say any power faults.
