Mondeo Cutting out whilst Driving
Hello I hope someone will be able to help me.
I have a Mondeo 1.8 petrol 53 plate. It has never been any trouble but has started (intermittently) cutting out whilst ive been driving along - 3 times this week
I'm able to lift the clutch and bump it back on again. It was serviced in January and I mentioned the problem to the garage and they said nothing came up on the diagnostic machine. The only other thing it does is that the lights (dash, interior and headlights have an intermittent flicker.
Im now thinking its time to sell as I dont want it to happen with the children in the car but thought id post a message on here in the hope that if its something other people had a problem with and can be easily fixed then great
Many thanks in advance,. Kate

Hi Cossie - The lights flicker most of the time and the cutting out has started happening more frequently. One of the guys at work thinks it may be the alternator?

I just bump it as it happens when I am actually driving along (40-50 MPH)
Not noticed if the flickering stops when I give it revs, but if I am sitting on the drive with the engine running I can see the headlights flickering on the wall in front and the dash lights flickering too.
