i've got a 96 300 Tdi disco that i've had no problems in the 6 months i've had her...... till now
the other night on my way home from work it suddenly died on me... all lights were still on but the engine just cut out.... as i was moving i managed to bump it and carried on going, a mile later it did it again again i bumped it and proceeded to thrash it back home
the next day it drove fine so thought no more of it.. tonight in busy traffic it died again.... i was stationary so was sat turning it over for a few minutes before it fired up again, moved 10 feet and it did it again so another few minutes turning over (thank god i've got a good battery) and a few annoyed people behind me, we was off again and drove fine after that....
now the first night it was freezing so thought possibly frozen fuel pipes or something??? but today it was +10 degrees so that ruled that idea out....
Both times it happened it did it twice and then drove fine (not sure if thats relevant but thought i'd mention it)
I did drive it till the fuel light came on last week (not by choice miles from anywhere) before refilling.
So am i looking at some sh#t come up from the tank and blocking a fuel line possibly or is it something more drastic
hopefully it won't be too expensive as i've spent a fair bit on it already
