partner van starts up easy enough but will now only run for a few seconds now before dying. prior to this it started to run crappy. one garage said it was either injectors or pump or maybe turbo. its not a turbo. another guy seems to think the cat has collapsed causing a outlet blockage. just before it died it struggled to get any speed up 30mph max. there are no warning lights on. any ideas pls. :-\ :y

Drop the exhaust at the manifold and see if power is restored,if it is then you'll know cat/exhaust is blocked

If it's the old 1.9 non turbo lump there ain't a great deal to go wrong on them,pumps can play up but tbh it probably wouldn't light the EML,the fact that it will run does point to blockage somewhere

it was a blocked exhaust - pipe cut, cleared out rewelded, job done :y :y
