RR sport 2.7
I drove from London to Falmouth last week and after a hill on the A303 the engine system fault message came up on the dash. It was late Friday night so I drove on. after stopping for a coffee the message cleared.
Back home after 3 days it came back on, there is no reduction in power and drives fairly normally. I called Lookers on the A40 and they cant look at the car till the 29th.
I asked to talk to someone from the workshop to check it was safe to drive.
A nice guy called Rob called me back asked me some questions and told me to open the bonnet and check the hoses on the drivers side of the engine as a common fault that causes this is a hole in the hose.
so I looked and sure enough he was right! a large split in the large diameter hose.
I had already searched for this fault on the forums and this cause never came up, so if you get this warning check it.
This hose disappears below the radiator is it possible to replace it without going to the dealer?

Very common issue. A new hose from a dealer is around £40 or so, and takes less than 20 minutes to swap over
