Driving along the road at 50kph and all of a sudden the engine dies, couple of lights came up on the dash so i pulled over.
Would crank but not fire when trying to restart.
So went uunder the bonnet, remembered that a few people have problems with the alternator and that kills the engine while driving and lights come up on dash all like mine did, gave the alternator a couple of thuds with the palm of my hand.. and the car started again and drove home fine.
Would like to mention car has had problems starting 3 times in the last 3 weeks, cranks forever but wont fire. leave it for a few minutes and then it turns on fine.
Anyone like to shed some light and tell me if the alternators on the way out, or if i need to get the bushes done etc.
Any help or direction would be good thanks
