Hello!
I just bought a P reg 2.5 TD estate with a BIG BMW engine in it! What a brilliant car. I have just got a new job which will have me driving around the country 5 days a week.
Only problem is that coming up the M74 to Glasgow on Sunday after buying it in Stoke, the engine decided to stop at 80 mph... The engine light came on so I pulled over onto the hard shoulder with the car still moving and dropped a couple of gears appropriate to my declining speed and lifted the clutch essentially bump starting the beast again. It took a couple of attempts but it got going again (thank goodness, as I had no breakdown cover at this point!) but 10 miles later it did the same thing. I had 20 litres of fuel left by the time I nursed it to a filling station and had no fuel warning lights come on. I know I won't really know until I get it to a garage, but someone suggested that it may be the main pump and that could set me back £1500! Cash I don't have.
Can anyone offer any other possible scenarios as to the problem and possible solutions or have I bought a money sucking beast!?!?!
