Hello, I wonder if anyone has any advice...I have an 03 Zafira and when I was on the motorway last week, it started losing power and then cut out. I managed to get it to a garage with it cutting out every 2 minutes. I filled up the oil which was low and it was Ok again until today, again I was on the motorway and it did the same thing. AA come and said I was low on oil so again, I fillied it up and it was Ok for about 60 miles then cut out again. I know I don't have an oil leak, the oil is still topped up but am worried because it just bunnyhops and then cuts out when I am driving at speed which is obviously dangerous.

It is fine on short runs, a couple of miles at a time, school runs etc but being that it has happened on the motorway twice, I am not happy about using it being that I have small schildren in the car. I am going to take it into a garage but wondered if anyone has any idea what the problem could be? AA said car has automatic cut out when something is wrong to protect the engine but the engine management light only comes on when it cuts out.

Anyway, I hope someone has some advice before I take it into the garage because they have a habit of changing things that don't need changing!

Thanks for your time

Kelly
