Limp home Zafira

There's a flat spot in my Zafira on moving off at lights, then a spanner light comes on and some form of skid light comes on as well. It runs badly after that.

Your engine is going into limp mode, most likely because one of the many sensors is faulty. At this stage it may be best to have a diagnostic check carried out as this should then show up a fault code ( P---- 4 numbers) This can then be related to the actual fault.

If you get the code but are not sure then let me know.
