Deacclerated toward red traffic lights.
Engine cut out suddenly within a split-second without any jerking or spluttering.
No warning at all.
Engine spinned over with starter motor.
called out recovery, and the representative who came initially diagnosed by cracking off the injectors without any fuel visible, then checked filter and it was full.
He noticed fuel had dropped onto front prop and went underneath to look upwards.
He says he suspects a gasket has deteriorated letting air in between a rusty brown cast pert and alloy on the high pressure pump.
Anyone from experience know if I should try find a gasket or just buy a new pump?
Going to sort it at weekend so will order parts tonight.
I must say I am extremely happy that I'll be working on the side of the engine bay with lots of space! Looking forward to it in a crazy way.
