Recently my car has been cutting out under breaking and burning a lot of oil, i looked after my car service it every 3-4k so it normally runs spot on.
Today driving to work exhuast started banging loudly, loads and the car wont go above 10mph without cutting out, all my warning lights are on and the car is not doing anything. I called the RAC and just waiting !! i would disconnect the battery however i drive on motorways to work and im not risking it cutting out!!

any ideas sound a biggy??

The RAC is on its way, I suppose he'll sort you out. I'd sniff around the coil pack and spark plug mate..

You didn't put any diesel in there?

Doesn't sound good mate :(

Sounds like some sort of sensor is shagged/given up the ghost.

Does it run? Engine just shakes?

What's your crank position sensor like? All engine sensors look okay?
