My car wouldn't start one day after work. That was the altenator. Since then, it cuts out when I am driving every now and then. It seems to stop more when my lights are on.
Ahhh now that makes more sense!
What has happend is your battery has run down because your alterator wasn't charging your battery when you were driving.
The 'mechanic' has fitted a 'new' alternator so solve this problem and has, in the process, f**ked up your electrics thus causing your car to cut out.
My advise is to take it back to the same mechanic and tell him the fix the electrics!
If you have a catelitic converter this cutting out may be doing it some damage as the only way to restart is to bump the engine. This is not a good thing to do with a cat.
