    I had this it was an electrical problem. Took ages to find as it kept jumping back to life. The AA were flummoxed! We got it in the end. Car is doing well again.
    Hope you get yours fixed.

    Theres a million different possible answers to this!

    If all the electrics failed its often a dodgy connection or altonator.

    Realistically, a website cant diagnose an issue like this -go to a garage!
