hope someone can point me in the right direction. driving and engine cuts out pulled into the side off the road turned ignition off then back on. when i turned the ignition on the engine check light comes on heater plug light stays on. warning light for fuel filter on. temp gauge go's all the way up then comes back down temp warning light on m and s lights flashing. gearbox indicator lights ok in p r n flashes in d and stays flashing in d when selecting 3 2 1. when turning ignition all the way engine cranks but not starting there is a clicking coming from the fuel relay which carries on when you stop cranking and turn ignition off. to stop relay i disconnected the battery. i have checked the 3 earth bolts by the fuse box and the ecu for oil. when battery has no load i get 12.6 volts. on cranking 12.3 volts i don't know what to check next any pointers' will be gratefully received. i have checked the fuse box in the engine bay and the one under the steering wheel both look very clean with no signs off water damage. thanks for looking.

I had a similar problem.
Have u checked inertia switch , under bonnet or right hand side of bulkhead as u look in bonnet. U can reset it by pressing button on top .
Mine had been moused and wire chewed between inertia switch and fuse box.
Have tried to read the ecu?
had a problem with the inertia switch at the beginning of the year so that was the first thing that i checked

but thanks for the reply all suggestions are gratefully received

When you go to crank it, does the fuel pump run?
Does the crank sound strong or weak?

As you said it just suddenly cut out, I think it’s more of a loss of fuel, loss of injector function, failed communication to engine ecu or crank position sensor has failed.

Also the flashing D in gear is to do with the autobox xyz switch. Also your battery is low, can you fully charge it or try a different one to rule it out?
thanks for all the suggestion's at the moment i am waiting for a guy with diagnostics to come and read the codes for me. with all the w/lights on and the relays clicking i think it is more likely to be an electric fault. can anyone recommend the best place to get a engine fuse box and interior fuse box

Charge or swap the battery first as an old/low battery can cause all sorts of electrical issues. Even the auto box will do as you’ve described. To source parts, I just go on eBay but there are a few on here people have recommended, I can’t remember them though.
