Engine Mechanical problem
1997 Rover 25 Front Wheel Drive Manual 85000 miles
Car stopped dead in middle of road while driving at 25mph had just gone over a hump. The gear stick wouldnt go in to another gear and we couldn't push the car to the side of the road as it was like trying to push a brick wall down. The car was able to be pushed backwards so we got it to a safe place on the side of the road. What caused this sudden stop we were lucky we had only just moved out of mainstream traffic onto a side road. We have had the car a couple of months. We were shown a receipt for a new clutch when we bought it (how naive were we) but we were told there was a problem with the cam belt. What could have caused this stopping and is it repairable.
