Just thought I'd throw a quick question on here, before I get bogged down in google-fuelled car hypochondria…
Driving back from Exmoor yesterday (warm day, 75mph ish motorway\dual carriageway), about 100 miles down the road (and about 20 from home), heading up a hill, suddenly I lost all power. Car slowed down, engine was running but not sounding happy, and I managed to creep to the side of the road and stop, with heavy feeling steering so now power steering. Also, no warning lights of any kind on the dash, and oil\water temps all fine. Stopped the car, tried starting, and it was fine.
Carefully continued, and for the next few miles the car alternataed between feeling fine and a bit rough. Stopped a few miles down the road, checked under the bonnet and under the car, nothing looked amiss and revving the engine sounded fine.
Drove the rest of the way home with no problems at all…
Any ideas what may cause this? I had run the fuel tank quite low (but not as low as I often do) then filled right up half an hour before – fuel blockage? I'm hoping it's not a dodgy turbo or fuel pump, but any suggestions would be useful.
