W211 270CDi
Over past four weeks (orange) engine warning light has lit up about three times in cluster while driving my 270CDi. When this happens I can't rev above 2500 but car still does 80 on motorway – clearly it's in limp home mode though 80 is hardly limp! If I turn car off completely and restart then light will stay on for a minute or so then go off. Car will run normally for a week or so then similar scenario happens again. No faults come up on cluster. Any ideas on what the problem is? Read a post somewhere saying it could be the brake light switch though not sure if that's what it is or why. Your help much appreciated.
 
Alex, it really needs put on Star diagnosis.

Its intermittent but I'd wager a MAF or CPS fault...

I see you are local to me, I'd suggest the Independent Merc Specialist in Ibrox as a good place to go.
 
Steve,

What's the name of indie in Ibrox? Had crankshaft sensor replaced two months ago for bad starting – whiich is now solved.
 
Cheers, will give them a try.
