This was such an annoying problem because it was so intermittent! My car was a BMW 1 Series petrol 114i. Sometimes it would run for anything between 2 to 20 seconds before cutting out. I had in a garage for over a week and it didn't fail while they had it. I needed to call the breakdown services twice and they were clueless as to what was wrong, calling it 'a pig of a problem'.

It took me 2 months to figure it out but in the end the solution turned out to be cheap and simple. If you're having the same issue I recommend you watch this video before spending lots of money changing fuel pumps or getting a dealership to look at it!
