Car turns off and on again while driving!

[jennieannc]

Hi Folks,

I have a 1.2 16v 56 plate clio.

On Thursday my car had a new cambelt, water pump and clutch installed.
Havent really driven car since picking it up from garage.
I drove to work this morning and went over a humpback bridge and the car cut out and came on again by itself about 5 seconds later.
While this happened, lost all power and steering assist, all fault lights came on and went out again like does when the car starts.
Happened 3 further times in the space of 5 minutes.
Now a little scared to drive it!...

Will be taking it back to garage first thing Monday morning but need to drive home in the meantime (live 30 mins away)
Any ideas as to what is causing it/if it fails to turn back on again what can i do to get it going without having to call AA.

Thank you
Jen

If they have done the clutch a poor/loose earth on the gearbox could cause issues similar to this, even a connection on the battery like a loose terminal, just take it back to them if you don't know how to check.
