i was driving at about 2:30 am on friday nite (in the middle of nowhere) and what happens...............fucking car breaks down :( i was going fine. and then it just started to shutter and then kinda kangeroo.. and then it just cut out and all the lights on the dash went on.

so there i was. in the middle of nowhere, wiv no phone signal and hardy no creit. so got my um out to pick me up and next day they towed it to the garge where they STILL haven't looked at it.

Im worried this is gonna cost me a firtune, but i love my car. even with all its problems.. and miss it all ready :cry:

only time will tell.
:roll: :roll:

never mind mate its gonna happen with and old car no matter how much you look after it.

It will probably be something simple is your engine carb or injection?

Im sure most nova owners have had something similar happen to their cars. I hope it isn't a major problem and is easily fixable. Good look!

if it just kangorood then cut out im guessing its a fuel problem, maybe spark but more likely fuel.
