This has only just statred to happen but after the long journey me and my family took from the uk to france and back again my car developed a lack of power, could not get it above 2000 revs and 50 mph. Felt like a possilby coil pack break down. After letting the car cool down for a while it was ok. Then it started to happen again. Check for blink codes and found code 37 but I can not see anything to do with this fault code would cause this problem. Many thanks any suggestions?
