Megane Renault Hatchback (10 yrs + old, good cond) - Small Electrical fault? Just cuts out. - ensnaturae

VERY pleased with my sec hand Megane (in France)

Dont know why the engine cuts out sometimes. Does anyone have any ideas?

It goes perfectly all the while. The Battery stays fully charged.

Last time it cut out, was when I went over a bump.

I carry a second battery, & it starts every time when connected - and continues trouble free till the next cut out.

BUT it cut out on a busy junction, last time, & that was bad.

Im worried about using it again till I have a clue about a repair.

Thank you very much for reading my Q.
