   Hello....Just wondered if anyone can help me!!
   
   Ive had my Saxo VTS for about 3 months now,and for about a month ive had the same problem.
   
   Its will just lose all power on long journeys and cut out and wont restart until about 20 minutes later....I have now stopped using it as the Temperature Gauge just flies up and down about 3 or 4 times when i start the engine....
   
   All reponses would be really helpful
   
   thanks
