AHHH!!! Car died again on the way home today, 4 times! apparently its not the battery, so I wasted £40 yesterday!
It just cuts out, loses all power, handbrake, ABS and air bag lights come on, loud beeping noise. then nothing, wont start, wont even turn over, nothing! :(
Happens when I take my foot off the accelerator and apply the brakes.
And it wont start again without the aid of jump leads!
Had to leave it in Abergavenny (Town down the road from me), It wasn't going to get home without stopping another load of times probably. So I parked it up safe and I'm going to pick it up in the morning and take it to the garage.
Rather annoyed :evil:
Please can anyone help me with this?!

Big thanks to my mate Josh with his Saxo VTR and My Dad and his T4 for coming to rescue me!

Problem solved! It was the alternator, got a new one now and its working fine, no more cutting out! :D
Set me back £130 though :(
Got a bit of welding on one of the exhaust brackets done too.
Airbag light is still on though :? Does anyone know why? or how it can be reset or anything?

Cheers, Dan

Quick update, Just thought I'd show you guys my home-made UK-POLOS.NET sticker in action :D
I did have some clear vinyl wrap and planned to put it on my rear window but the vinyl was not perfectly clear and kind of looked silly, so I managed to rescue it and put it here, I think it looks pretty cool there and its something nice to look at when I open my boot haha
