have w reg 1400 sport. With pipercross and back box.
Just come off motorway and engine cut out.
On dash the battery light, engine management light and oil light came on.
Car wouldn't re start for about 2 minutes.
Finally got it re started but it cuts out and same lights come on if drop below 3k rpm.
Very "spluttery" when running, I am gonna leave it over night and check the oil and try again.
Please give advice, have heard about paperclip test - could you explain this to me (I am not good with engines)
