Thanks to everyone that helped regarding my lambda/brake mot issues.
Just a quicky. Not long ago I filled up in ny local tesco, went to start and it cut out instantly. Went to restart and all I got was my engine management light flashing like crazy. After a few more attempts it started and drove fine! Any ideas what it'd be?

Not sure but could it be the crankshaft sensor, only say that due to it cutting out and not starting after a few minutes rest.

It had a new crankshaft sensor fitted about two months ago as it would start from cold, and die when it'd warmed up.. i was thinking possibly immobiliser or something because of the flashing eml ?
