   Ok so the other day i was driving along and my oil light came on, i slowed down, the steering became heavy and the car cut out. Left it for a few minutes, started it again, no problems. Took it to the garage for a check up, they said everything was ok from what i told them.
   So today, i had just gone to the fuel station to top up, got back into my car, oil light came on again and the car wouldnt start. It like wouldnt connect up to the starter motor and as i tried to start the car, it just made a reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee noise, like quicker than usual if you get what i mean?
   Kept trying, and it wouldnt start. Left it 5 mins, start her up and it started, just about, seemed like it had just connected and off i went. Did 140 miles in it today and have had no problems since. Any suggestions/ideas what it could be?
   Cheers

   Might sound daft but check your oil and coolant level. See if water has oil in it or oil has water in it or its a light sludgy brown colour like a toilet after a night out & a curry.
