My car keeps cutting out. You stop at the end of the road and it just dies. Sometimes you can hear the revs going up and down too. Also, when i start her up from warm the engine turns over but struggles to keep going unless you give it some juice. Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong

Could be a number of things, mine was a similar fault but was overfueling. This was caused by the temperature sensor giving negative readings therefore causing the brain to think the car needs more fuel flooding the engine which was causing it to die. I don't think yours in the same, could be the enertia (sp) switch but your best bet would be to take it to a garage and get them to plug it on the computer and get some diag results. There are so many sensors that could cause such a problem!

I'm gonna get the oil changed again at the end of the month and see what that does. It had a Peugeot service a few weeks back but i've clocked up 6k since then working etc.
