wow... cheers for the responces. the car did it again this morning when i went out to get food. i atterys a few months old and is charging fine. i think its my amp wires. as i havnt taken them out of the car yet and they may just res on the car after a bmp for a second... let you know in 20

as above ^^ all gud answers
also check ecu is plugged in properly"long shot"
but does soud llike batterey-alternator-bad earth to me

defeinatly an electric problem. check battery charge and ground connections etc/

Battery flat, not charging when driving etc, had this on our 306, fan belt snapped, wasnt charging battery I drained the car driving it back, speedo was all over the show, power steering failed revs up and down. Check the electrics.

think it will be the battery. make sure all terminals are ok and they are greased up

would agree, sounds like a loose wire somewhere mate. Just hope it's an easy one, and you dont have to rip apart dash trying to find it!!

check your battery terminals for browny gunk. Make sure they are clean and havent dissolved like they did on my old corsa.

Yes it sound electrical, maybe a bad earth.

may be a loose battery connection

sounds like a bad earth

just been driving home from work, to tired to give the car some stick so i poodle alonge within the limits for a change.

then eveything goes windows xp on me and goes nuts!

all i did was go over a draing cover at 30 hardly a tasking situation for the car and this happened:

1= Speedo drops to 0 then to 50 then to 0
2= ecu light comes on
3= power steering shuts down
4= car judders as if about to stall yet revs are still reading 2.7k revs in 4th gear.
5= speedo returns to normal, ecu light goes off the car returns to normal.
6 = stereo turns off then comes back on with the memory cleared.

now this all hapened within 5 seconds, but in them 5 seconds i was on the otherside of the road heading towards a parked up lorry tanked up with petrol. :mad::o

ive noticed the cars been juddery when you rev it. like its stalling but some vaux spanner said it was cause of the heat. (LAAAIR!)

im gonna look at the spark plugs n ignotion coil today. cause i think its cause the sparks have had 20.000 miles on em.

just shit myself when the car cut out. nothing i can think of could cause this.

got any ideas?
