My car keeps switching in and out of limp mode
I have a Vauxhall Zafira B on a 56-plate, and every couple of days, I get a spanner light on the dashboard, and the car goes into limp mode. After I have used the car a few times, the warning lights go out, and the car runs fine. Any idea what is causing this?

You are probably not using it enough, or driving it far enough from each cold start.
