	What happens when "you never buy cars from sites like autotrader"

	Maybe he bought it before he started doing the mileage? I'm not sure if you realise that a person's situation can change.

	Wants a reliable car for doing that mileage? Buys a petrol 308.

Maybe 20k before an air filer and fuel filter is a bit much :0 :lol: Doesn't need spark plugs for another 20k according to the forums - had plugs 19k ago. You do that sort of mileage in a petrol?

	Probably crank sensor, take it to a garage. I'm assuming there will be fault codes stored.

	Do the battery delete mod.

	Imo you should open the bonnet. Look around it from every angle expecting something obvious like a plug that is unplugged. Can't see one? Unlucky..... Then prod and wiggle random things. Nope. Shut bonnet and go to the internet. Ask a forum. Surely someone will diagnosis the exact fault and you will simply buy that part and plug it in. Faff around for two weeks buying random affordable electrical bits. Never really fix the issue but feel really happy you loads of new parts you never needed. Then ask a local garage to look at it. They will be stumped. Shit pants and buy a new car as this one has now "had it" and is a ticking time bomb. Be easier to just buy a new car now imo. :lol:

	Braking & cutting out would make me think a vacuum issue

	Our 206 has done it a few times recently. Had a new battery not long ago, as I think it was that previously. Its overdue for a service, so probably reminding me that its needed. Happens occasionally when drifiting into junctions. Seems to be fine if I remain in gear. So currently changing my driving styles which isn't easy. Would be good to know what it actually is though! I thought alternator at first as was told when we got the battery that it'd probably need replacing at some point.

Just chilling to morrisons for fuel but then fine when run on the motorway for 30 miles. This morning died twice before getting onto the country lanes. Fine then until 10 miles later when I had to brake hard due to people who can't drive in the fast lane. Worrying as it's booked in for an MOT Monday. [Edited on 04-08-2014 by Andrew]

	Battery? Mon - Fri car does 70 miles a day min, has done for just over 12 months. Some days will can do 200 miles, others 100 miles. i.e - tomorrow will do 150 miles... Weekends I try not to move it but most of the time will do 50 - 150 miles as I have a wife and mother who I can't hide from :0 This weekend did not move Saturday apart from the gym which is 1 mile there and back, if that. Sunday fired up fine but cut out a few times. This morning again cut out a few times before getting onto the motorway. Appears to cut out when braking coming up to a junction. Fires up first time again. Car is a 2010 and has done 59k. Had nothing apart from servicing, brakes and tyres.
