Hello,
My father has the following problem with his x-type 2.0td.
While driving and without warning all of the instruments go to zero the tachometer disappears and a bunch of engine lights come on (see photo). The car then enters some kind of rev reduction mode until the ignition is turned off and the car is restarted. Things then return to normal.
Its now happening to him half a dozen time on journeys under 5 miles. His local garage has cleared the EGR but are none the wiser.
I don't have (as yet) any meaningful fault codes.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Cheers.
