I'd put money on it being the alternator due to both the battery and CAT warning lights being on. Did you get missfire before the car conked out? Or rev / speedo cutting out?

Unfortunately my battery warning light came on when 3rdGenSteve drove the car last week. Weirdly the CAT temp warning light came on as well even though it is earthed off :?

The offending article :evil:

Either that or crank pulley failure? I havent had the crank pulley go on my 4th so I dont know if the CAT warnign light comes on with that :? You'd hear a slapping if that failed though.
