Hi everyone
On the way into work this afternoon, little Liv and I were pootling in when there was a sudden bang, the car jolted forwards and the engine stopped. When I turn the ignition, all the lights come on but when attempting to start, there's nothing.
At the time, the battery warning light came on but it's quite new - around 18 months old - so I didn't think that was the issue.
I have noticed white smoke coming from the exhaust when I start the engine on but this only happens after Liv has been sitting around for a couple of hours. I took her to see a couple of mechanics but they dismissed the problem.
I have had the four injectors changed last August and there aren't any oil leaks. Liv was last serviced by A2 Cars in October 2016.
She's sitting at the roadside a distance away while I'm typing this and I'm calling in the AA later this evening. But mechanics seem quite dismissive of the A2; I don't think I'm visiting the right people! I'm worried this could be a serious problem.
Any ideas?
