Car makes strange noise from instrument panel

Hi guys,

My car:

Rover 75 -01 V6 2.5L.

The last couple of weeks the car or basically something near the instrument panel makes a really strange noise, can't really describe what it is but almost like a warning but it does not beep. Sound as it comes from a "speaker" almost near the key.

It can happend 1 times during the drive or maybe 2-3 times.

It happend again today and shortly after the car basically died and I had to restart it, I was driving about 30km/h.
Then 2 hours later I started the car again and drived and I saw that the "check engine" lamp turned on fast, with another icon I didn't see but the car made it and did not die.

What can be the problem? Is the fualt codes saved so the repaircenter can check it out?

I do change oil every year or after 1500miles (1mile=10000km). I have driven 6000 miles since i got the car 3 years ago and I have NOT changed the the filter for the gas, the brakes fluid (I know I should do that) and I have also NOT changed the spark plugs.
I had problem with the watercooling 6 months ago but filled it up with water and it has not overheated since then.
Any thoughts?

Thanks for great help as ALWAYS! Really appreciated
