Hi everyone,
I took my Puma out today for the first time in about 8 weeks. I drove it about 5 miles (took about 15 minutes), then parked it, and an hour later drove it back (a little harder). Within a mile of my house I heard a noise from the car (and I can't describe it) and then within 1/3 of a mile the car just cut out. A couple of helpful chaps assisted me in pushing it off the road in to a car park.
I turn the ignition, the lights all come on, I turn it all the way around and it tries to start but fails.
I'm not even slightly mechanical but can anyone offer any guidance as to what I should be looking at? Could it be the fuel pump cut off switch or am I wasting my time checking that?
