Currently just south of Rouen, drove down from Calais with no issues yesterday.
Fired up okay this morning and sort of coughed momentarily then idle speed returned fine.
I drove off and within 50 yards the engine cut out. Now awaiting recovery. The engine now turns over but won't fire up. Any ideas before the dreaded French mechanic v Englishman with limited mechanical knowledge debate ensues?

Just turned the key and the engine sprang to life for a few seconds and then conked out again. Fuel starvation????

Have you looked at fuel filter ? Know to have issues on the Ducato..
May be leaking, split hose.. I am no mechanic but worth a quick look for anything obvious..

Thanks, none of the above as far as I'm aware no fuel leaks or smell of diesel!
Could possibly be split hose allowing air in!
