Problems with my 306 HELP!!!

Hi,
I've got a Pug 306 1.9TD R Reg 3 door saloon. Its been driving fine up
until the last few days, I was going around a round about then the thing
just stopped, it seemed that there was a short circuit as the lights were
going funny, then all power died no hazards and no ignition opened up bonnet
(While on roundabout) then the lights came back on, ok so I drive on and all
seems well until I get onto the dual carriageway when it happens again, so I
put my hazards on (It was at night) then all power died, and no hard
shoulder So I jumped out onto the bank then the lights came back on, this
has happened a few times and I have no idea what it could be....

Any offers
Cheers for help

Electrics are crap on the pugs!
First
check the earth lead on the battery...clean it loads and make sure is
earthed properly

Have you got any non standard stuff rigged up to the electrics? huge amp?
....if so disconnect them
also, check there are no leaks ...check the rear and front light clusters to
see if any water has been fusing them

....prob be the earth though, failing that look in yellow pages for a car
electrician and get them to look at it

excellent advice just checked the battery lead and found it was loose,
suppose should have checked it 1st but hey saved me a trip to the garage,
made the car have a mind of its own.

 

no probs, glad i could help
