Evening all,
I wonder if you may be able to help out my father-in-law.
His 58 reg 1.6 diesel Bravo (105 eco) has developed a fault in the last week that has us a little stumped.
From cold, having no previous faults, it started fine and drove roughly 0.3 miles before cutting out/stalling. It then would not restart, and I’m told it didn’t even crank the engine.
The car was left for maybe half hour to 45 mins, and when we returned it started fine and drove back home the same distance, with no obvious problems. My father in law has replaced the fuel filter and glow plugs since then.
Today it was driven to work by my mother-in-law without issue, but again having been parked up all morning until lunchtime it started fine, drove less than 100m across a car park and stalled, refusing to restart once again. It restarted 30 mins later and drove home again no problem.
There are no warning lights on the dash, so I assume no error codes thrown up. When it starts it idles fine, albeit with a very slight rise and fall sound to the revs, although it’s not what I would call ‘hunting’ and it’s not a big enough change to move the Rev needle on the dash.
Any ideas?
