Anti pollution, now low oil pressure & battery fault. All stop the car from running. But when you give it a few minutes It drives like a dream.. I don,t want to through away money on egr valve, ECU etc as the car is not worth much. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi

There are more than likely some error codes stored. Read these with a cheap OBD2 scanner from Amazon and post up the codes here.

Read the codes, delete them all, run the engine to a fault then read the codes again. Post the last set of codes to get an idea why you get the engine warning lights.
