luckycharmer: i think there is a light for it on the dash , it can show up on diagnostics most of the time you can check for errors on it


No lights on on the dash either, nothin whatsoever showing up as a problem untill you try drive it, it went into LIMP mode this eve and then reset itself as soon as ignition was turned off and back on again

EGR valve will very likely be clogged in 2.2 dci...Shared tech with renault diesels...
Bad fuel can cause damage to fuel pump stepper valve on common rail diesels (pretty much anything post 04), the stepper can be removed and inspected for rust, mind any o ring seals on removal...
Re stalling, another thought, clean the throttle body, common with most vehicles, petrol and diesel, high milage and something that doesn't get attened to in a service....
Lighting fault...Assume you have checked the bulbs, If so, have main light switch checked and relay...UCH and or UPC rarely give trouble unless water damaged, then a host of electrical faults would arise...
Low power can also be attribured to turbo failure, common on 2.2 dci...Remove turbo pipe and look for copious amounts of oil in pipe and intercooler...
EOBD (solus and similar generic testers) will not give sufficient info on electrical / sensor faults, vehicle systems will need checking with "CLIP" (renault) or similar nissan dedicated diagnostic tool...

DrBob: If the piston rings were gone there'd be a cloud of smoke(blue) out the exhaust constantly and would need constant top up of engine oil but it hasn't dropped on the dip at all
