Thanks to @Snake Charmer for rescuing the Daf after the engine failed. Was going to a Daf club meet, but it decided it did not want to go after all.

V1.0 given a SORN last night and V2.0 Taxed. Running the car last night I had a serious quantity of blue smoke from burning oil and the EML lit. Hoping it was oil residue from having been idled for hours on end I set off to work this morning with ESP and ABS  failure warning. First few applications of the brakes were poor but did improve, with no ABS you can screech to a halt on the Chinese tyres quite nicely. Engine also felt like no boost and in limp mode.

Stopped in a car park and ran diagnostics on the laptop,  ABS and ESP were down to the right rear sensor and turbo boost showing a  sensor fault. Both cleared now and normal service resumed, but the power is nowhere near V1.0. The left hand mirror indicator possibly has a dicky wire as that comes up occasionally on the dash  seems the smoke has cleared too.

Still hopeful for the Mot this evening if the smoke and lights stay out.

I don't bloody well believe it. Passed Mot emmisions, brakes and suspension ok plus it looks quite good underneath. Celebratory G&T anyone?
