    Hi Carly

    Could be a lot of things , were there any dash lights before it cut out? , did it stop suddently , were there any bangs etc. Is there any belts broken ? did it over heat?

    Might be blocked fuel or fuel pump , i think you will have to get some one to look it over.

    I think I will get someone to look at it :( , there was no dab board lights that come on . I can see one belt on the engine that looks ok the one that the alternator connects to is this the only one ? It was silent when it stopped it might be blocked fuel lines and pump . Being an old lass it could have some slime in there .

    Thanks for the reply :Dx
