Just driving along as usual, nothing out of the ordinary, suddenly the engine cuts out. I quickly try to start it but it won't even turn over. Then the break pedal locks up, I resort to using the handbrake to stop! Meanwhile the radio is going crazy by the looks of things.
I stop, turn on the hazards and open the bonnet - I notice a bit of smoke (?) coming out the top of the offside - seems to be coming from around the manifold area. Bit of a burning smell.
Currently waiting for breakdown rescue
Could this be an electrical fault? Maybe a wire burnt off and caused a short circuit?
