had my bravo for about 3 weeks now and have a few problems..
its a 1.4 sx p reg 64000 miles

1st my injector light came on about 2 weeks ago i took it home turned the engine off then back on again and the light went off, i didnt notice anything wrong with the running of the car so i thought nothing of it.
then a few days later i was driving on the motor way and if i went over 70mph the speedo would just stop working this was intermittent for a while now it has just stopped working altogether.
a few days after i was driving and the injector light came on again i pulled over and switched off and on again and the light went off, as i was driving the car felt sluggish and wouldnt pick up speed at all i got to some lights and when i set off the car just stalled, i tried to start up it was trying but not starting then i put my foot down and it revved and worked normally..?? everything was ok from then on but this cant be good, any ideas on what needs looking at or needs changing
cheers

oh and also my temp gauge is odd.. if im parked up with the engine on it will be on half or 1 notch above, if im driving it will be as low as 3 notches below half maybe even more any ideas?

1. what the injector light goes - go get a diagnostic check done

2. if the temp dial is like you say, its the thermostat that is shot

Like said, the injector lamp can be more than 100 reasons of fault, they can be related, but dont have to be, so a diagnostic check should tell you more.

Depends on the garage I think
