Out in the striker for the first time in weeks, commuting to work - BROKE DOWN!!
not amused

what happened to it?

I wouldn't worry about it. They all do that from time to time!

Mike

lost power as I accelerated onto a roundabout
I have abandonded it in a car park and will have a look at it tonight as I was in a rush to get to work.
idled OK for a short while then died

Out of petrol

As above
definately sounds like lack of fuel

all the girls at work asked if I've run out of fuel!!
I'm pretty sure there's half a tank still left

I do indeed have a guage, and it says half full,
the miles since I last filled up suggest that too
so unless my gauge has packed up and I've lost fuel somewhere I SHOULD have fuel - hopefully!

blocked filter?

I have to admit the car had been a little tempremental last time I was out, and I had changed the fuel filter last weekend to try rectify the problem- so not that hopefully

I had an astra that did similarly, when the alternator packed up on the M62 so wondering about that
