Stuck £30 fuel in the car and 10 mins later it just completely cut out and luckily managed to roll off the main road into side street.

I kept trying to start it up but nothing and then 15 mins later its back to life so off towards home and then 30 mins into the journey it cuts out again.

Whilst broken down I kept trying to re-start, sometimes it starts and then just coughs and splutters then dead. Low and behold 30 minutes later it starts and I managed to get home.

I'm down to solely using the Noble at present as the other cars at Jetsream for a bit of tlc/service so i'm a bit fooked.

The cars has only just come back from a service and while it was there I had a new battery put it but this has not been an issue before.

Any help would be fantastic.

PS Bloody typical, dry day and this happens!!

I've had similar in another car when the fuel pump was failing... Could also be blocked fuel filter or just ddodgy fuel.
