Had problems at the weekend (had to be towed home) with the engine cutting out or lumping - always at tickover or very slow (town) speeds.
As some background also went on a fairly long motorway trip last week - no problems but - when I left the motorway and went to the services I noticed a loud "wineing" - this noise raised in pitch as I revved the engine and seemed to be coming from the rear (fuel pump?).......No stalling or anything but thought it was weird - same thing on the way home - left the motorway and heard the wineing again - since then town traffic and no odd noise but then over the weekend it kept stalling.
First off it has less than a quarter tank of fuel in the tank so was wondering about dirt (replaced the fuel filter over the weekend - don't know if that will fix it though) or is the wineing noise showing the fuel pump is faulty - if so I guess this should be a simple job as it seems pretty accessable under the battery - any advice thoughts would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
