Yesterday I drove about 60 miles on motorways, stopped for 20 minutes & headed back only for the car to just lose power & stall a couple of miles after getting on the M25. Cruising along at about 65 in the LH lane, no funny noises, no warning lights, just no power & the engine died.
It's been running on brand new SVO with about 10% petrol for the last thousand miles or so without any problems. I had a new fuel filter so fitted that at the side of the m'way & added 5 litres of diesel I keep in the boot all to no avail. Examined the pre-filter & it looked almost new with only a few bits at the bottom & +95% of the mesh clean. The oil coming out of the large old fuel filter was crystal clear & clean. Pretty much flattened the huge (newish) battery trying to get out of there & in the end called a recovery guy I know.
Battery recharging overnight & I'm ready to try to get to the bottom of this.
Where do I start please?
