Morning All,
I'm after some advice, i currently have a Mk2 punto (X Reg). (72000 miles)
The car passed it's MOT last week fine, with a few advisorys, suspensions bushes etc will need replacing soon.
However, i was driving along the motorway yesterday & the car started to stutter & then just lost all drive & conked out.
I tried it again thinking it might of been over heating, but temp gauges, oil & fuel all fine, it then died again.
I had to call the AA to get it recovered to a local garage.
The AA man was fairly confident the cat was the problem & it was blocked, this was confirmed by the garage, they took the cat off, it ran for a few mins before dying again of the same problem (the cat had melted together apparently).
They also tried running diagnostics on the car but nothing showed & they're at a bit of a loose end as to what the problem seems to be.
Is there any suggestions on here as to what it might be?
Any help is much appreciated as i'm not carless with a little'un i can't ferry about!
