Cut out & won't start
I'd just filled my xr4i up with fuel and gone about 2 miles with it and it cut out. Main beams went off and there was no ignition lights on the dials. I managed to roll it into a layby thankfully. There's no ignition lights, no fuel pump, no starter or any ignition circuit related things working. I checked the fuses and connections at the battery, checked battery voltage with a meter (12v) , shoogeled about some wiring to no avail.
I called my mate for a lift and when he came he checked all the same things again, except when he hit the horn it came back to life and it all seemed to work. It started up and I drove off and made it approximately 500 metres before it cut out again and rolled into a car park.
It had the same problem as before. Removed the steering column plastics hoping that a wire from the ignition barrel was lose but they're all OK. It was midnight and pitch black so I've left it there for the night.
I'm a bit puzzled, hope it's an easy fix. Some pointers and advice will be most appreciated.
