I was in the middle of rush hour in a city and the car decided it would die, after having about 50 cars give me there horn (which was very nice of them) i rolled the car back into a layby no stopping zone) I left the car to cool down for a good 10 mins and then she started agian (so im thinking PTU) i then drove off this place only to find 5 mins later the car broke down agian, this time i had to get my uncle to tow me back to his house, while we were on the dual carriage way i left it in gear and the key on turn 1, so the car started as we were being towed and when i got to his house it drove up the drive perfectly fine and i even stopped it and started it agian no problem.

 

Im sure the PTU is overheating, but i just put some petrol in the car (yes super unleaded!) and after that it started playing up, other people said they had bad fuel from the same garage...

 

So do you think the PTU needs relocating (its series one) or do you think the fuel is completely f'd.

 

BTW the fuel was from esso.

i hope he jacked the rear or got a low loader? ;)

I got a good secondhand one you can borrow Murt until you get a new one. Let me know and I can drop it over.

I paid $30 and $20 delivery for a good s/h s2 ptu from us ebay, came with the harness too.
