Was going up Tog Hill this afternoon, about 1630. Big hill on the edge of the Cotswolds between Bristol and Chippenham in the 80 Sport.

Just overtook a line of cars, pulled in (2 lanes up, 1 lane down), then the car died completely.

No petrol or oil flowing out, no coolant flowing out. Checked the cambelt. All fine.

Phoned AA, 40 minutes later he arrives, tows me to a layby.

Does a few basic diagnostics.

Result: fuel pump.

He hit it wiv an ammer and got it going, and he followed me to the garage, where I left the car. Wifey picked me up.

Looks like an easy job for the garage to do.

Just a good job I had a high vis jacket in my car, and a torch.
