hey guys,
was driving to Reading on saturday morning, its about a 45minute drive from where i live. car was running fine had no problems in the journey there until when i got into the car park all of a sudden my car just died and cut out.
Now i was going up one of those spirel entrances in 1st gear quite slowly and then just as i turned out of it my car suddenly cut out and for a few minutes the hazrd light on the dash for an electrical fault lit up. My sound system was still running fine at the time so i turned the car off, tried starting it again several times but nothing at all so managaed to push it into a parking space out of the way. This was about 10minutes after the car had died and i decided to try starting it again just to check and it started up first time fine. Since this i have driven back from reading and out and about with no problems what so ever.
Problem i have though is that i am worried it may do this again to me and as i have to drive to London to work evryday i am worried it might break down again. I am getting it checked into a garage tomorrow but they have said it will be very hard for them to tell whats wrong unless it doesnt work when they have it as it could be so many possible things causing it.
Just wondering if you guys can help me out?my car on occasions around once a week at the most fails to start up first time, im guessing a new starter motor may be needed but surely this has nothing to do with the above problem as the car was running before it died. Can it be loose wires under the bonnet?problem with the coil?any help much appreciated as im not an expert when it comes to electrics on cars!sorry for the long post just have tried to give as much info as i can to help
cheers jon
