...when you're happily cruising down the motorway, without your mobile (
), and suddenly the engine just cuts out! Happened to me twice today, only for a couple of seconds, but long enough for thoughts of dodging traffic trying to reach civilisation, or sitting on the hard shoulder waiting for the car to fix it's self, to run through my head! It made for a very nervous journey home. Remember kids, mobiles aren't just for taking up-skirt photos on buses, never leave home without it.

Check your fuel filter (replaced it recently?) before you replace your fuel pump - been there, done that!

Nope the ones hiding under the black cover right between your headertank and the PAS bottle. The black cover just lifts up.
