    i find it hard to belive you were doing 100mph on 40mph zone, and you didnt realise it mate.

    Also, if you got pulled by the police, and you claim you were doing this speed, you were 2.5 times over the speed limit, and the police let you go??

    Youve maybe over exagurated, or youve been extremly extremly lucky with the police, and that you still have your licence mate.

    Hope you get this problem sorted mate.

    Default my car done a similar thing

    hi i had similar thing belive it or not on my car.
    the car went to safe mode and orange light came on, i took it to a mate of mine and done a map check, the fault came out to be a cam belt sensor so i had it replaced from a vauxhall dealer.the next day car went like horse **** or a rocket on speed, fast very fast and the orange light came on but performance amazing.took it to vauxhall who then done a free check and found out the sensor they sold me had a fault on that batch and replaced it free of charge now are is fine but wish i still had that speed without the orange light but hey ho happy its fixed.
    the guy at vauxhall said this was the third cam belt senor on the batch they had returned in a week strange i wanted to keep mine?

    the mechanic at work asked me if the cambelt was changed recently which could have caused this, but it was done ages ago

    glad im not the only one with this weird problem

    gonna pull the tuning box before i take it to the dealers, see if it resets itself

    would love to know what power its throwing out though

    sooner i get shut of the car the better, but mrs wont let me
