The car, having a manual transmission, was still in gear and slowed down very quickly without any warning to other drivers (no brake lights).

I have driven lots of similar older model diesel cars in europe and elsewhere without any such problems. I do not know what to do to correct…

The key must be cycled to the off position and then back to start to restart the vehicle, but once shut down, there is a brief delay before the ecu will engage the starter, leaving the driver of a stalled…

The incident took place on a saturday,…
