My 2001 (y-reg) 1.9 diesel Multipla has now been in the garage 3 weeks & still not fixed!!
After the snow (just over a month ago??) There were 3 occaisions when it struggled to start - I put it down to the weather.
Then, whilst driving it lost power (like the diesel wasn't getting through)
It would re-start after about 10 mins but only go about 200 yrds before cutting out again!
My recovery service towed it to a local garage who have apparently put it on a diagnostics machine. I have been told this came p with a list of possibilities ranging from £40 - £1000 to fix!!
Someone advised me to change the solonoid (and as this is apparently quite cheap to do, I've advised the garage to start here).
Does anyone know how to fix or experienced this problem before? *I can't afford a new car nor have I lots of money to fix it!!
PLEASE HELP!
