HI Trevor
I had a problem just before Christmas when the car just stopped the RAC came and said it was a fuel pump issue and got me to my local garage
they confirmed the issue and after replacing the pump the car would start fine when cold but after a 7 mile trip to Tesco's it was a bit temperamental to start only on the third turn of the key it started. which has never happened before . after a long run to Cornwall I had stopped for about 10mins and it was hard to get it to start again ,returning home I stopped a mile from home to drop a mate off and then when started up the engine management light came on so ask a mechanic to have a look , he put the computer on it and the code came up saying crankshaft sensor error
