why does my vauxhall insiginia cut out while driving
Our answer:
Hi John,
You've not told us what engine the car has or how old it is, but it sounds like a common issue with the popular 2.0 diesel, relating to internals from the inlet system coming apart and affecting how the car runs. Bring it along to a good mechanic and mention this and they should know what to look for.
