hi everybody im new here, i have a x type 2.0 diesel i was on my way home from work and the engine just cut out then would not start, the RAC came out checked it and said the fault was with the fuel pump, and i would have to take it to a garage. he then hitched me up and took me home. i was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what could be the problem. a friend said it sounds like an electrical fault, i would be grateful of any help

Normally when sourcing a fault an RAC engineer would plug his diagnostic meter into the car, I'm sure he would not have come to such a sure conclusion without the correct information. Agree the problem may lay with the fuel pump and yes it could be an electrical fault to the pump that would be quite feasible. Also, an RAC engineer would normally give you the option and ask where you want the car taken to i.e. home, garage etc.

I assume you opted for home however that now leaves the problem of getting to a garage unless youu are aware of a mobile mechanic?

Good luck in resolving the issue but I do think it needs to be looked at by a technician
