A 250 mile trip, with about 40 miles to go the engine light comes on :( 24 hours later it has gone off.......but now the car is not running right! it feels like it is holding back? a sort of spluttering? just had it serviced fuel filter as well. Any thoughts? will get it checked when I get home but have 250 miles to get home o_O
 
Nothing to suggest without reading the fault codes, I'm afraid.... there are very many things that can cause a Diesel engine to play-up. Blocked PDF, blocked EGR, failed sensors, injector problems, issues with vacuum hoses... you name it. Sorry...

Agree, so many possibilities. It seems to smooth out after 60/65mph? very strange?
 
Sounds like you will have a fast trip home then
 
Looks like it was the oxygen sensor and the dpf hadn't done a re-gen, error code deleted dpf now down to 30% so all good............at the moment.
 
Did you get it serviced by Mercedes? If so call Mobilio, it's free after all.
