Hi,

A few days ago my 60Reg S40 displayed a "Reduced engine performance" message and the amber engine light came on while driving to work. On the way back, there was no such display and message/light remained off while driving since until this morning when the amber engine light came on again. I have made it home, but drove max 45mph (average speed about 30mph) and does not appear to shut down/idle. There are no odd noises coming from under the bonnet, so I am wondering what is causing this and whether the car is safe to drive before I get it to a garage. Any advice would be welcome.
