How much fuel in the tank did you have when this happened each time over or under a 1/4 and can you hear the fuel pump in the tank working put your hear by the filler and listen for the ticking.
How about the hgh presure fuel pump is that working as it should, try also changing the fuel filter all these must be checked please keep us informed of the progress Arctic.
Each time it's cut out there's been a different amount of fuel in the tank from full to nearly empty. I picked the car back up from the garage on Friday after they'd had it for nearly a week. They've gone through everything and can't find anything wrong. It's ran perfectly for me too since I picked it up but I have to admit I've lost all confidence in it. The mechanic told me not to try and start it if it cuts out again just get it towed straight to him.Easy for him to say. In an ideal world it would cut out next to a layby but in reality it's always cut out in the worst places you can imagine so I've had to try to start it again.
This is the first time it's let me down in seven years so I suppose I mustn't grumble but if it cuts out again in rush hour traffic I'll probably go all Basil Faulty on it! I'll keep you posted as to how I get on with it. Fingers crossed with all the poking about it's had over the last few days it won't fail again.
