After few miles did again. same warnings, left it for some time and started it again and fine before it cut out after few miles. Any sugestions, Please help...........

My 1.7cdti a few years ago, was doing the same thing, would work and then totally cut out and not restart again until cooled down. Turned out to pay the crank position senser cost about £55 from main dealer and fitted it with help from a friend
