    Is this a case of "Brokedown in kerry" or a case of "Broke, down in kerry", if the latter, then I'd suggest you call your bankmanager to bail you out.

    That aside, could you be a littel more informative, ie, what year and class of peaugot. What engine and what pump, if any.

    last time I read of bad news on Peaugots, CRD-EFI type it was resolved with a new ECU for the grand total of $1500..... so "Broke; down in Kerry" may be the real phrase." May be cheaper to abandon and walk home. in which case the old lady may not only sing, but scream. :D

    Bizarre but fairly typical of Mr.Murphy. I guess it could be worse - I could start waffling about the joy of French car ownership.

    Anyhew, I suggest you give Dennis another shout and get him to bring a towtruck. It sounds like a fault in the fuel system - if the ecu had gone bang it wouldn't have restarted. I had a diesel car do something similar and it turned out to be a faulty fuel solenoid which refused to open - not possible for me to diagnose but €252 to a main dealer and bobs your uncle.

    Good luck...
