Renault Laguna engine semi stalls

Car: Renault Laguna
Variant: Petrol, estate, 2Ltr
Model Year: 2002
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Engine starts and runs good but when hot and you come to temporary rest, say traffic lights, warning lights come on and revs are then limited to 1900. If you switch off and restart the car then runs OK

Have you checked anything at all so far ? ie. plugs , ignition coils ,air filter , fuel filter etc .If not get a scan carried out .

Had the fault diagnosed as petrol temp/pressure sensor which puts engine into limp mode when detected hot. Friendly mechanic at Renault says this is a common problem with this car and age , need to replace sensor device , part cost £250 and £250 to fit/fix and then no absolute guarantee it will last more than a year. Question is, is it worth doing it. Does anyone else know of this problem? is it fixable? Mechanic say Renault know of this problem and after many part updates have thrown up their hands in desperation. HELP
