Hello all .
Got a bit of a problem with the old tank.
The missus was driving today and suddenly without notice the engine cut out, dead as a dodo, and all the dashboard lights are on.
She switched the ignition off and rolled to the side of the road. (without power steering) .
Then apparently she cursed and swore and turned the ignition key and the engine started again without any hassle.
She carried on with her journey to her work without any more hick-ups. The car was then standing for about 6hrs before she drove back home without any problems.
Where do I start looking for the root of this incident ?
The car is a 124, 200E, petrol, automatic
Any hints or tips are greatly appreciated !
