Engine system warning and cruise control
My first electronic issue - travelling down the motorway with cruise on at 80, have to slow down to 70 for a police car the I press resume on the steering wheel and the car accelerates and then loses all power (in the fast lane) and engine system failure comes up on the display. I pull over ans switch the car off and start off OK. Did I ask too much of the car to accelerate from 70 to 80 in sixth whilst in cruise control?
Any one else suffered this?Disco 3 TDV6HSE Cairns blue auto

Hi Simon,
Not much help but, my TDV6 S has never had any trouble resuming cruise between 70 and 80.

Sounds like a computer hickup or similar. Have you tried it since to see if it accelerates from 70 to 80 MPH.
Maybe it was the police with a bit of electronic gadgetry (it does exist) which stops you going over 70 mph in their presence
