Default Advice needed urgently......

Got my car booked in for an MOT on tuesday and my car has decided to dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

the problem started apparently last weekend and i wasn't informed, as i have not had the chance to use it all week until this weekend.

Problem......

fuel cuts out just after the lights and dashboard needles on the rev/speedo etc stick........sometimes they didn't even come on and the car would still drive.........having a great drive round this weekend and car just died 7 times whilst driving........now its dead.

any advice would be appreciated..........

So long as there is no smoke or bits of engine laying round the place it doesn't sound too serious, but I'm no expert. sorry to hear that mate.
