DB11 broken...

[ChrisR99]

My father has had his DB11 since 1st April and covered around 500 miles. All was well until yesterday when the car refused to go over 2k rpm at all (I wasn't in the car, but the car was in D). He managed to limp the car home, luckily the fault occurred before he made it to the A3 in rush hour!

Strange thing is, no warning lights came on at all, just the car wouldn't accelerate. Dad said he had difficulty getting above 30mph as revs weren't high enough. (I presume it didn't work in manual either) Car was taken away by AM today so hopefully they'll come back with a diagnosis. We are going to Germany tomorrow, but luckily in the Range Rover!

Just wondered if anyone else has heard of this issue? From what I've heard they've been fairly reliable (well, for an AM) so far. Part of me is wondering whether it's user error but can't see how?

Made me smile as well.
Golly,gee,whiz we do appear to have similar humour genes.
DW are you my long lost step brother ,possibly one my late father sired when during WW11 whilst serving King and Country in foreign lands.
OP I hope your dad's problems with the Aston get sorted post haste.

Only if he contributed to a sperm bank that had a 10yr time lock

Let's put it this way.
If they gave medals for hanky panky on active duty,rumour has it,he'd have got a VC.
Notwithstanding, I'm very proud of him.
BTW if your Aston broke would you have to take your Massey Fergueson ?

If the Aston broke I have a plan B that doesn't involve tractors, even as a tow vehicle..

My wife made a remark (that we still laugh about) in total innocence once at a function when asked if we came in the Porsche, she replied no we came in the other Porsche! Its good to have a collection.

Yah..........know the feeling.
My wife is always making totally innocent gaffs when we're at the Queen's Garden Party.
I particularly remember this one.
A friend asked "did you come in your 15 year old Ford Focus" and wifey replied......"mind your own fecking business".
Even got a chuckle from old Dukey.

Wouldn't be Pistonheads without a bit of humour.

Won't hear from the stelaerfor a few days but I'll update if/when they find a fault.

In other news we got called by Land Rover in the Eurotunnel, as the car giggling about with the engine off triggered a theft alert! Now that's God customer service.

Which is your favourite Duke gaff Steven ?

I liked the one, which I had better not repeat here, but about which it was later stated, that he became mixed up between the cowboys and indians.

There's the one when his Land Rover broke down
