Freakin...
Coming back from the shops, 2 miles from home. Stop at lights for a left turn, green light flares, press the throttle and... chokes, chokes (not even moving an inch) and without any warning lights on dash, nothing... engine stops. Finito.
Seemed it lost electrical power
by the way everything shut down. Cars at my tail blowing their horns (hey man, it just died on me...) wait 30 secs, ignition, engine kicks-in with a bit of difficulty, but able to pull-away eventually.
Stop the car, check under the bonnet, no strage smells, everything seems fine. Ignition again, starts OK, able to reach home OK. Nothing flashing on the dash, as if nothing happened. But it did.
Guess I'm gonna head for my dealer for a quick check later on the week.
Sigh... anyone had similar experiences to share?

PS : only thing was that I loaded petrol earlier that day, and I was running very low on gas previuosly (so it was a full load). Could it be that some debris from the gas tank just passed through...? But I traveled about 10 miles after the petrol station just fine. Weird.
