Hi i got a P reg saxo about a month ago and it was running perfectly. Its then had problems starting, it would only start if i reved it at the same time. When this problem started it also decided it would cut out on me. This used to only occur once or twice when it was cold and then it would be fine, but now it is happening randomly and alot, so now its unsafe for me to drive. Wen it cuts out it doesnt stall or isnt jumpy, it simply looses power and dies. All the lights come on on the dash, and i have to bump it or turn the key as normal to get it to start again.
Yesterday another problem started. i dont know if it is related, but i was driving for about five minutes and it overheated. I opened the bonnet and the engine was seriously hot. I left it for a couple hours, came back and saw that there was water dripping from under my radiator. i then filled it up, drove it off and yet again it overheated. ive left it on my drive, filled it with water, and yet now it isnt dripping out.if i rev the engine it doesnt over heat, but its still over heating if i drive it. im so confused. my boyfriend has looked at it and says he cant find a problem.
Any ideas would be appreciated as i want my car back on the road !
thanks in advance
