Fiat Brava Cutting out
The Problem

The Problem

My wife's car has recently developed a fault. On a couple of occasions recently the car has just cut out on her and the engine management light on the dash has come on. Two days ago it cut out three times in the space of a couple of hundred yards. I drove over to where she'd broken down and started the car. The warning light went off and I drove the car, without any problem, to a friend's house. The time it happened prior to this, my friend, who is a mechanic, took the car onto the motorway and drove the car, at varying speeds, for about 35 miles without any fault showing up! Naturally, my wife says she has lost confidence in the car. Has anyone experienced this problem, or have any idea what the problem could be?

Hard to fix fault if you or your mechanic friend cant replicate it , especially after 35 miles .Could check coolant level in header tank .Have had the odd complaint of this fault happening when vehicle used on short trips only .
