Something very weird happened to me yesterday. While i was sitting pretty on the fast lane cruising @ 120km/h my engine decided to cut off with the battery warning sign showing.
So I pulled to the side(luckily with the roadwork’s the emergency lane is sort of next to the fast lane) and when I stopped all the warning lights came on as if I had ran out of gas tried starting the car again it would start. I turned the engine off completely then tried restarting again and we were good drove for about 700m then it switched off again. Called the mac he suspected one of my sensors is faulty. So I waited for a while before restating again and all was well until I got to the South after driving through M1 traffic.
So i will be taking it in for diagnosis tommorrow jus wondering what it could be jus to have an idea before i take it in.

Similar thing happened to me not so long ago,it was the crankshaft sensor. That is most likely the prob. Should set you back around R1500 for replacement with labour. At least thats what I paid.
