So daughter has a 2006 (56 plate UK) CRV diesel.
Recently goes into limp home mode quite often (no hills, no climb, no load). Quite sluggish when accelerating like it takes a split second to decide to get up and go. She has had the car about 3 months and when first bought was really nippy and responsive, not so now.
In addition she is getting 15 - 20 mpg at best and there seems to be an abundance of black smoke from the exhaust when accelerating.
Just in the process of taking to the local garage but thought I'd ask if anyone has any ideas or thoughts before we cough up the proverbial arm and leg.
