Last Night my car cut out! Again! Just parked up at the side of the road left the music on lights on, and the car running! was out speakin to sum friends when i went to switch it off it had cut out! Gutted! wouldnt start again!! Left it 45 minutes and it started no probs! STRANGE!!!
Recently it wouldnt start either jumped started it and left it a while and its worked! In the past week ive put in a new fuel filter, new panel filter, new oil and a new battery! now it looks like its non of them! Im just major pissed off that it is still doing this!!
Can anyone shed sum light on this? The Engine Management Light isnt even cumin on so i dont knw the fault!!
cheers

but the car running and twist the cables. if it stops, try to find out what cable it is.
try battery to earth,alternator cables, the one wich is at the right side of the lower inlet manifold,ignition cables, try everything!!
