    Re: Cut out and wont restart

    It just cut out all belts are  still intact from what i can see, it was like it ran out of fuel, the rac bloke said that cam wasnt turning when i was trying to fire her up, as he was looking through oil filer  cap, thats all i know no warning lights are on all fuses are ok

     Ok, Your cam belt has failed, it might be still in place but the teeth on the belt have stripped, you are looking at the belt under the domed cam cover and not the alternator belt are you, don't worry though it's an easy fix.

     If you post the general area where you live somebody will point you to a decent local MX5 garage.

     Taff eunos is probably your man, he is usually on line and may just pick this thread up.
