The engine can cut-out (usually at a junction), when switched off and back on again is fine! Last time it did there was a fairly loud humming noise from the fuel pump. This might just be because it was re-priming after the cut out though? This is very intermittent, most drives it does not...

Driving on the motorway - nice steady speed- I noticed smoke behind me. As I'd just passed a lorry i thought it was from him but soon it became apparent it was me! On pulling over there was no obvious smoke. I looked underneath and saw fluid pouring from under the car which quickly stopped. I...

Most times my lovely car fires up first turn of the key. Now and again, it almost fires - then dies. I then have to turn the starter for about 20 - 30 seconds. It then fires, coughs and splutters and misses for a few seconds, smokes, then settles down to a smooth tickover and back to...
