Hi all, I have had my L reg 850 around 3 months and considering its age its been fine. But occasionally it cuts out on me. Just after I pull onto or drive from a roundabout I find that the engine has quit and I am coasting.
The sound insulation is so good on these cars that it takes a while to realise it has happened, I start to put my foot down and nothing, a quick signal and coast to the roadside is all I can do. Put in park and it starts up immediately and everything is fine, not spluttering, no juddering, no smoke, either before it happens or after it starts, just a smooth instant transition from running to not running.
Has anyone any idea what could be happening. Are there any sensors that could be cutting it out? It happens no matter how long it has been running, when cold or after a good run on the motorway. It averages out at once a fortnight at the moment. thought I must have had popped it into neutral the first time it happened but no, it was still in drive.
Any idea's?
Chris
