I can drive my Mariva for days and then all of a sudden
it will start spluttering and after a short while of jumping and spluttering it cuts out. I can then restart it after about 10mins there is never any warning lights shown and it all ways seems to drive ok for a while after.

I am happy to make donation but would like to see what help i get first.
