I bought this car less than a week ago.....today the engine management light came on, closely followed by the anti pollution warning, there was no loss of power as others have described so I drove it home.....later on I had to go out and as I started it the esp light came on as well as the other mentioned warnings, and there is only 1100rpm.....so basically the engine only ticks over.........any ideas???????

If the battery is the original it could be as simple as a new battery being needed. A battery at the end of its life can result in many fault codes coming up.

However, if the battery is fine then my first port of call would be to check the EGR valve. Could well be clogged up and require a thorough clean-up or even replacement with a new one. The EGR valve clogging up is quite a common fault, especially if most of your journeys are short ones.
